1973 Map of Plover Key

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

Everglades National Park dominates the eastern expanse of this coastal study, where the mangrove-fringed islands of the Ten Thousand Islands transition into the open Gulf of Mexico. This orthophotomap, produced from 1971 aerial photography, provides a rare visual of the shifting subtropical coastline before more modern satellite imaging. Small landforms such as Plover Key, North Plover Key, and Bird Key serve as critical landmarks in a landscape defined by shallow waters and tidal exchange. An Indefinite Boundary weaves through the interior waters, marking the jurisdictional edge within the park's wilderness. The inclusion of hydrographic soundings and features like Seminole Point and Bird Key Bight highlights the area's importance for local navigation and maritime history along the Florida Gulf Coast.
