2018 Map of Coopertown

About this map

The Everglades landscape dominates this 2018 survey, illustrating the managed intersection of wild marshland and South Florida infrastructure. The southern portion of the sheet is bisected by 8th St SW, which runs parallel to the Tamiami Canal Number C-4, a critical component of the region's complex water management system. Along this corridor, the small settlements of Coopertown and Frog City provide human anchors in an area otherwise defined by the expansive Everglades National Park. Further north, the presence of the Agricultural Canal and the distinctively named area known as The Pocket highlight how drainage and canalization have historically shaped the terrain. The map serves as a contemporary record of this fragile environment, documenting the persistent boundaries between conservation land and the vital transportation arteries connecting Miami to the west.
