Loading the Internet Archive Bookreader, please wait...
Summary:
Small scale lumbering in the Big Cypress began around 1900 with small sawmills at Everglades, Naples, and Immokalee. By 1930, eight small mills were operating within 32 km (20 mi) of Immokalee (Tebeau, 1966). In the mid-to late 1930s operations expanded. The peak lumbering period was from the 1940s through the mid-1950s. By the end of this time most of the large South Florida slash pine Pinus Elliottii var. densa and cypress Taxodium distichum had been removed.
