1963 Map of Pennsuco

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

Miami Canal and a network of water management infrastructure define this 1963 landscape on the edge of the Everglades. The map illustrates a transitional period in South Florida’s hydrology, where Levee No 30 and Levee No 33 border the vast Conservation Area No 3. Near the settlement of Pennsuco, the industrial character of the era is evident through several quarries and specialized utilities, including a Radio Facility and the WGBS radio towers. Significant drainage projects like the Snake Creek Canal and Pennsuco Canal cut through the terrain, while a simple Jeep Trail provides one of the few primitive routes across the low-lying interior. This survey documents the intersection of large-scale water control and early industrial extraction before the region's later suburban expansion.
