1972 Map of Monroe Station NE

About this map

Lost Dog Prairie and Buckskin Prairie dominate the northern landscape of this South Florida interior, captured via aerial photography in the early 1970s. The orthophotomap format reveals the intricate textures of the Big Cypress swamp environment, where cypress strands such as the Osceola Strand and Sandy Road Strand weave through the saw grass and wetland areas. These linear features, simply labeled as Strand, reflect the natural drainage patterns that define this part of Collier County. Human presence is sparse, marked primarily by a solitary Landing Strip and rudimentary routes like Monument Road and Bluebird Road. This survey documents a critical period of environmental study before contemporary conservation efforts, providing a literal photographic record of the terrain as it existed more than fifty years ago.
