1970 Map of Okeelanta

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

North New River Canal cuts a sharp diagonal through this 1970 orthophotomosaic, illustrating the highly engineered landscape of the northern Everglades at this time. This unique visual survey combines aerial photography with topographic data to show the immense scale of industrial agriculture centered around Okeelanta. The geometric precision of field blocks and the dense network of drainage infrastructure, such as Bolles Canal, highlight the transition of this area into a productive agricultural hub. Transport and communication infrastructure are well-established, with the Seaboard Coast Line railroad and a Radio Tower positioned near the primary waterway. Local utility and logistical features, including a Sewage Disposal site and a Landing Strip, further document the development required to support the local economy and its remote operations during the early 1970s.
