2024 Map of Coopertown

About this map

The Everglades define this landscape, dominated by the vast sawgrass marshes and tree islands of Everglades National Park. Human settlement is concentrated along the southern edge of the sheet, following the corridor established by the Tamiami Canal Number C-4. Small outposts like Coopertown and Frog City represent the limited development in this watery environment, which remains largely inaccessible except by boat or specialized transport. The map highlights the critical role of water management in South Florida, featuring the Agricultural Canal and the distinctive indentation of The Pocket in the northern marshes. The geography illustrates the tension between the preserved wilderness of the park and the infrastructure required to manage the regional water table.
