1972 Map of Weavers Station

About this map

Fakahatchee Bay and Ferguson Bay anchor the southern reaches of this 1970s orthophotomap, where the mangrove-heavy coastline meets the vast wetland interior of Everglades National Park. This specific survey period captures the area just as aerial photography was beginning to provide a new perspective on the complex hydrology of the Dana River and Barron River. The northern portion of the quadrangle is defined by a series of distinct ecological zones, including House Prairie, Four Stake Prairie, and the dense timber of the Fakahatchee Strand.
