About this map

Big Cypress National Preserve defines this portion of Collier County, where the landscape is a complex network of wetland strands and prairie openings. The presence of Burns Lake and Windmill Prairie highlights the natural hydrology of the region, while the Tamiami Canal Number C-4 provides a glimpse into the larger drainage and infrastructure systems of South Florida.

Backcountry access is documented through a series of named trails and legacy routes, including the Windmill Tram Trl, Concho Billie Trl, and Monument Trl. These pathways, alongside the north and south sections of the Burns Lake North Trl, suggest a history of resource management and exploration within the strand ecosystems of Skillet Strand and New River Strand. The survey also marks the alignment of Burns Road, anchoring the map to local navigation.
