About this map

Big Cypress National Preserve defines this protected landscape in southern Florida, where the wild character of the Everglades ecosystem is meticulously documented. The terrain is characterized by broad natural clearings such as Windmill Prairie, reflecting the seasonally flooded grasslands typical of the region. Transportation infrastructure is sparse, limited to the passage of Route 41 across the southern edge and the quiet access provided by Burns Rd.

Burns Lake serves as a central hydrological point in a map largely dominated by the natural drainage patterns of the preserve. This 2012 survey captures the area as a dedicated conservation zone, documenting the specific boundary lines and road networks that manage public access to this wetland environment. It offers a precise record of the intersection between managed federal lands and the preserved Florida wilderness.
