About this map

Everglades City serves as the primary outpost on this coastal survey, where the Barron River meets Chokoloskee Bay. The town's grid, including N Copeland Ave and Riverside Dr, terminates abruptly at the water's edge, highlighting its role as a gateway to the labyrinthine Ten Thousand Islands. The map illustrates a complex mangrove archipelago defined by intricate waterways such as Indian Key Pass and Sandfly Pass, revealing a landscape where land and sea are inextricably linked.

Key landmarks such as Everglades Airpark and the small Lake Placid provide points of reference for the modern settlement, while named features like Jack Daniels Key and Demijohn Key hint at the local history and seafaring culture of this subtropical environment. To the north, the Fakahatchee wilderness transitions into open water at Fakahatchee Bay, underscoring the preservation of this unique ecosystem at the edge of the Gulf of Mexico.
