1972 Map of Shark Valley Lookout Tower

USGS Topo · Published 1990

About this map

Everglades National Park dominates this 1970s orthophotomap, revealing the intricate water-and-land patterns of the Florida interior. The unique photographic base layer distinguishes this sheet from traditional line-and-tint maps, providing a literal view of the vegetation and hydrology at the border of Monroe and Dade counties. The Shark Valley Slough and East Slough move through the landscape, surrounding isolated tree islands such as Dogwood Hammock, Iron Pot Hammock, and Seagrape Hammock. Human activity is marked by the presence of the Shark Valley Lookout Tower and a remote Landing Strip in the southwest. Transport through this wetland environment is defined by an Airboat Trail and Trail segments that navigate the transition between the sloughs and elevations like Rattlesnake Ridge.
