1974 Map of South Of Okeelanta

USGS Topo · Published 1993

About this map

The North New River Canal cuts a sharp diagonal through this 1974 orthophotomap, serving as the primary hydrological artery for this portion of the Everglades. This survey provides a vivid aerial perspective on the systematic conversion of wetlands into industrial-scale agriculture. The northern half of the sheet is dominated by a rigid grid of fields and access roads, while the southern portion retains a more saturated, untamed appearance. Local water management is evidenced by several pumps positioned along the canal levee, highlighting the intensive engineering required to maintain the productivity of these muckland soils. The transition between the organized agricultural blocks and the open marshland reflects the evolving land-use boundaries in southern Florida during the mid-1970s.
