About this map

Big Cypress National Preserve dominates the landscape of this Florida interior, where the intricate hydrology of the Everglades system is revealed through named wetlands and hammocks. The small settlement of Jerome sits along the western edge, providing a focal point for researchers interested in the rural development of Collier County. The map details a mosaic of distinct prairies, such as Miles City Prairie and Airplane Prairie, which are separated by cypress strands and higher ground like Rock Island.

Transport through this often-inundated terrain is highlighted by specialized routes, including the Fire Prairie Trl and Concho Billie Trl. The presence of Deep Lake and the Deep Lake Strand illustrates the concentrated water bodies that define the ecology of the region. This 2021 survey serves as a precise record of the contemporary environmental boundaries and the sparse human footprint within one of Florida’s most significant conservation areas.
