1972 Map of Whitewater Bay East

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

Everglades National Park appears in this orthophotomap as a complex network of coastal mangrove forests and brackish waterways. The 1971 aerial photography captured the intricate delta-like systems of the Watson River, North River, and Lane River as they drain into the shallow expanse of Whitewater Bay. The landscape is dominated by tidal channels and numerous small islands or Keys, where land and water are indistinguishable without the precision of this infrared-tinted survey. Hydrographic data highlights navigable routes like the Midway Waterway and Midway Pass, essential for traversing this portion of the Florida coast. Remote Campsite locations are marked within the Wilderness designation, indicating the area's preservation for primitive recreation. Notable for its lack of terrestrial infrastructure, the map illustrates the natural hydrology of Hells Bay and Norths Bay before modern environmental shifts altered these sensitive coastal zones.
