1970 Map of Okeelanta

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

Okeelanta sits at the heart of an intensive agricultural landscape in the northern Everglades, defined by a rigid grid of drainage and transport infrastructure. This 1970 orthophotomap, based on aerial photography and planetable surveys, documents the industrial scale of the region's water management system. The landscape is carved by massive waterways including the North New River Canal, New River Canal, and Bolles Canal, supported by numerous Pump stations that regulate the water table for cultivation. Logistics are central to this territory, with the Seaboard Coast Line railroad and a dedicated Landing Strip providing the primary conduits for goods and transit. Notable landmarks such as a Radio Tower and Sewage Disposal site appear as lone structural markers within the repetitive geometry of the expansive fields.
