1973 Map of North of Fortymile Bend

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

Florida State Miccosukee Indian Reservation lands dominate the northern reaches of this orthophotomap, where the linear geometry of Levee 28 and the Levee 28 Tieback cuts through the organic patterns of the wet prairie. This 1970s aerial perspective reveals the human footprint in the Everglades, from the Airboat Trail network to small, localized settlements such as Mari Law Seminole Village and Sam Willie Seminole Village. The landscape is defined by the hydrologic management of Conservation Area No 3A, where water is impounded periodically to sustain the surrounding Everglades Wildlife Management Area. Notable landmarks like Choctaw Hammock and the site of Sam Franks Old Farm provide specific points of reference within the mosaic of vegetation and water, illustrating the historical use of high ground in a region defined by its inundation.
