1972 Map of Taylor Slough

USGS Topo · Published 1990

About this map

Taylor Slough dominates this orthophotomap, cutting a lush green swath through the marshy expanse of Everglades National Park. This 1972 survey, based on aerial photography from the previous year, provides a rare visual of the hydrological patterns of south Dade County during a period of critical environmental monitoring. The presence of a Gaging Sta along the slough indicates the ongoing efforts to measure water flow through this sensitive ecosystem. The Ingraham Highway provides the primary transit route through the terrain, bisecting the open sawgrass plains. Near the northern boundary, a Military Res stands as a distinct human footprint within the otherwise protected wilderness. The map's combination of photographic imagery and topographic contours allows for precise study of subtle elevation changes that dictate the movement of water across this subtropical landscape.
