Description

This photograph of South Florida is taken from space and shows a great deal about South Florida's landforms, vegetation and resources. Aerial and satellite images, also known as remotely sensed images, permit accurate mapping of land cover and make landscape features understandable. Transient phenomena, such as seasonal vegetation vigor and contaminant discharges, can be studied by comparing these images acquired at different times. This map is excellent for understanding the fragile and threatened nature of the Everglades from expansion of urban areas and from agriculture. Map scale is 1:500,000 and measures 16"x44". ** Visit our Florida Bay Satellite Imagery webpage at: http://coastal.er.usgs.gov/flbay/
