1973 Map of Royal Palm Hammock

About this map

Collier-Seminole State Park anchors the upper reaches of this orthophotomap, where the dry land of the Florida mainland begins to dissolve into the intricate coastal labyrinth of the Ten Thousand Islands. The Tamiami Trail cuts a sharp diagonal across the northern edge, serving as the primary corridor for travelers between the Gulf Coast and the interior. Along this route, the settlement at Royal Palm Hammock and the development at Remuda Ranch represent the sparse human footprint in an environment dominated by water and mangroves.
