1972 Map of Whitewater Bay West

USGS Topo · Published 1990

About this map

Everglades National Park appears here as a labyrinthine network of mangroves and tidewater channels captured in 1971 through aerial photography. The map reveals the intricate hydrologic connection between the Shark River and Whitewater Bay, emphasizing the complex estuarine environment where saltwater and freshwater mix. Large bodies of water like Oyster Bay and Ponce De Leon Bay are separated by fragmented landmasses such as Shark River Island, while the Wilderness Waterway provides a clear transit route through the coastal vegetation. The absence of roads or cultural structures, save for occasional primitive Campsite markers, underscores the preserved state of the Cape Sable region during this period of ecological mapping.
