1974 Map of Whidden Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1993

About this map

Fruit Fly Camp and the elevated terrain of Bamboo Mound punctuate this orthophotomap, which utilizes 1971 aerial photography to visualize the intricate wetland patterns of the Florida Everglades. The landscape is dominated by a complex network of sloughs and strands, including the wide Kissimmee, Dark, and Bamboo Strand, where slight variations in elevation and hydrology dictate the thick vegetation patterns visible in the green-toned imagery. This mid-1970s survey captures the area as a managed wilderness, bisected by the straight, man-made corridor of the Everglades Parkway (Toll Road). Human activity is clustered near this arterial route, evidenced by a Gaging Sta, a Boat Ramp, and a Roadside Park, while more remote reaches feature a Lookout Tower and scattered Landing Strip clearings. The map reveals the specific character of the Big Cypress region, centered around Whidden Lake and the water-heavy reaches of Mullet Slough.
