1974 Map of Rocky Lake Strand

USGS Topo · Published 1993

About this map

Point of Cypress stands as a focal point in this 1974 orthophotomap of the Hendry County interior, where the transition between natural wetlands and early agricultural drainage is clearly visible. The landscape is defined by a dense mosaic of cypress heads and marshy depressions, interrupted by the straight-line engineering of the Deer Fence Canal. In the northwest, Camp Everglades provides a rare point of human habitation in this seasonally inundated terrain. The map's photographic base reveals the precise boundaries of cleared land and utility infrastructure, including a Radio Tower and Sewage Disposal site, alongside an isolated Landing Strip. These features reflect a mid-century period of rural development when aviation and drainage projects began to alter the accessibility and land use of the Florida scrub and strand systems.
