About this map

Corkscrew stands as a focal point in this 2021 landscape, where the flat, wet expanses of Collier County are defined by a network of drainage and isolated high ground. The southern reaches of the map are dominated by the Corkscrew Swamp and Horseshoe Marsh, punctuated by numerous named hammocks or "islands" such as Big Corkscrew Island, Little Corkscrew Island, and Hogan Island. These features reflect the traditional topography of the Everglades fringe, where subtle elevation changes dictate the character of the vegetation and human activity.

Transportation and modern land use are evident through the Corkscrew Rd corridor and the specialized Corkscrew Trace Airpark. On the eastern edge, Lake Trafford provides a major water feature near the Pepper Ranch Loop Trl. This survey captures the transition between agricultural ranching and conservation efforts, illustrating how modern roads like Oil Well Grade Rd navigate the watery terrain of the Poggie Strand.
