About this map

Big Cypress National Preserve defines the character of this Collier County landscape, where the flat cypress swamps and wet prairies of South Florida are meticulously documented. The map reveals a mosaic of distinct natural features like Hollywood Head and Deep Lake Strand, illustrating the subtle topographic variations that dictate the region's hydrology.

Tracing the path of Turner River Rd through the eastern section provides a view of the primary corridor through this wilderness. Scattered open areas including Miles City Prairie, Rock Island Prairie, and Airplane Prairie interrupt the dense vegetation. The small settlement at Rock Island and the namesake Deep Lake offer specific points of interest for those studying the environmental and land-use history of the Everglades' western edge.
