2024 Map of Deep Lake SW

About this map

Fakahatchee Strand and Picayune Strand define this section of the Florida Everglades, where a vast network of seasonally flooded prairies and cypress strands create a distinct ecological landscape. The map reveals an intricate grid of rural roads, such as 62nd Ave SE and 118th Ave SE, that carve through the wetlands, hinting at historical efforts to drain and subdivide this wilderness. Many of these named open spaces, like Twelvemile Prairie and Buck Prairie, carry descriptive titles that reflect the challenges and landmarks of the early interior.
