Catalog notes

Issued in 1924 by the Board of Commissioners of the Everglades Drainage District, this map brings canals, subdrainage districts, tax zones and the survey grid into one view of southern Florida. It links Lake Okeechobee to coastal outlets and distinguishes canals already constructed from those under construction. Preserved in the Ernest R. Graham Papers, it documents a particular stage in the engineering and administration of the Everglades landscape.
