This map (click to enlarge) gives evidence of the water level (indicated by canoe trails) prior to drainage. Arch Creek, the current location of the study area, is marked on the map.
excerpt from Military map of the peninsula of Florida 1856
The maps below were prepared in conjunction with my research methods class. In the elevation map on the left one can see with darker brown higher elevation the northern extension of the "Everglades Keys" where people could settle prior to canal drainage culminating in the 1920's. On the right current housing values (own-owned homes only) shows persisting housing values indicating which of these "Keys" became successful high-value developments and which largely became part of the poorer urban core.
