2015 Map of Deep Lake

About this map

Big Cypress National Preserve dominates this portion of the Florida Everglades, revealing a landscape defined by expansive prairies and isolated hammock heads. The settlement of Jerome sits at the southern edge of the sheet, serving as a rare point of habitation in this wet wilderness. Running north-south, Sr 29 provides the primary transit corridor, passing the namesake Deep Lake and the distinct wooded feature of Hollywood Head. The map illustrates the varied terrain of the region, from the open expanse of Rock Island Prairie and Airplane Prairie to the namesake Rock Island elevation. These features represent the natural hydrology and ecological boundaries of Collier County as they were documented in the mid-2010s, showing the intersection of preserved lands and the rural roads that navigate them like Turner River Rd.
