1956 Map of Royal Palm Ranger Station

About this map

Everglades National Park dominates this mid-century survey, showcasing the delicate balance between the protected wetlands and the encroaching agricultural grid of South Florida. The southwestern portion of the sheet is defined by the Taylor Slough drainage system, which feeds into distinct limestone and vegetation elevations known as keys, including Paradise Key, Parachute Key, and Pine Island. The Royal Palm Ranger Station serves as the primary administrative landmark within this wild landscape.
