Aerial view of the airstrip under construction. The borrow pit in the upper left is now Dodge Lake. Two ribbons of road are visible in the lower part of the picture. The one closest to the airstrip is the first highway, completed in 1928. The lower road is the abandoned right-of-way for the old train track from the Key West Extension. The photo is dated 3/18/1943, and is from the Islamorada Public Library.
