About this map

Chokoloskee Island stands as the primary hub of human settlement in this aquatic landscape, where the terrestrial world gives way to the labyrinthine mangroves of the Ten Thousand Islands. This 2018 survey illustrates the complex boundary between Big Cypress National Preserve and Everglades National Park, showcasing a region defined by its tidal flow and seasonal freshwater drainage. The network of winding channels, including the Wilderness Waterway and Lopez River, highlights the traditional water routes that have sustained the local fishing and maritime culture for generations.

The coastal geography is punctuated by specific landmarks like Rabbit Key Pass and Sunday Bay, while the northern portion of the map shows the transition into more established infrastructure along Plantation Dr and Smallwood Dr. This map provides a detailed view of the intricate estuarine environment where the Turner River meets the Gulf of Mexico, serving as a vital reference for understanding the modern conservation boundaries and historical watercraft passages of the Florida coast.
