1995 Map of North Of Fortymile Bend

About this map

The Florida State Miccosukee Indian Reservation dominates the northern expanse of this landscape, situated at the intersection of several major conservation and wildlife areas. In the mid-1990s, this region of the Everglades shows the complex management of water and wilderness, where infrastructure like Levee 28 and the Tieback levee divide the Big Cypress National Preserve from the Everglades and Francis S Taylor State Wildlife Management Area. Human habitation is scattered and specialized, represented by the Mart Law Seminole Village and Sam Willie Seminole Village, alongside names like Sam Franks Old Farm and Panther Camp. The terrain is characterized by a network of airboat trails and the Sand Point Trail, providing passage through a wetland environment where water is impounded periodically.
