Everglades surveying crew with surveying equipment, 1913
Two men using surveying equipment. Crew of men in hats and kerchiefs surveying the everglades.
The Everglades Drainage District was established in 1913 (Ch. 6456, 1913 Laws) for the purpose of draining and reclaiming lands located near the Everglades. To carry out this mandate, Florida Everglades Engineering Commission was established and the everglades was surveyed from 12 May 1913 to about 25 July 1913 in preparation for a drainage system being imposed. The Northern Survey group, led by George B. Hills, went from the Atlantic to Lake Okeechobee via the Loxahachee Slough, also surveying Lake Okeechobee. The second group, the Southern Survey, was led by J.B. Phinney, assisted by J.A. Moore. Their intent was to establish the southern limit of the Everglades; this was split into two parties, a main one to run a transit and level line and the auxiliary party running "offsets" up and down to get information about the limits of fresh and salt water in the Big Cypress. This series of images is probably the auxiliary group and includes, according to an article in the Miami News (1913-07-28), J.A. Moore (chief); E. Hendrickson and Ned Pynchon (instrument men); W.W. Meyers; brothers Randall, Bill, and Bud (Daniel) Henderson; A.A. Bennet; L.V. Darling; F.A. Mathis; H.L. Capplenen; and H. Thalmer.
