2024 Map of Chokoloskee

About this map

Chokoloskee Island and its surrounding coastal waters anchor this recent survey of the transition between the Florida mainland and the Gulf of Mexico. This environment is characterized by an intricate network of mangrove islands and tidal waterways, part of the Ten Thousand Islands and the Marjory Stoneman Douglas Wilderness. Significant water routes such as the Turner River, Lopez River, and Chokoloskee Pass facilitate movement through the dense wetlands. The map details the modern balance between residential pockets like Plantation Island and the protected lands of Big Cypress National Preserve and Everglades National Park. Recreation is a primary focus of the infrastructure here, represented by the Wilderness Waterway Trl and the Everglades Paddling Trl, which connect remote spots like Sunday Bay and Oyster Bay for modern navigators.
