About this map

The wetlands of the Florida Everglades dominate this interior landscape along the border of Hendry and Collier counties. This portion of south-central Florida is characterized by a complex network of sloughs and dry-ground islands that historically provided refuge in the swampy terrain. Named features like Grasshopper Island, Butterfly Island, and Wild Cow Island rise above the surrounding marshes, indicating slightly higher elevations that once supported distinct subtropical vegetation and wildlife habitats.

Navigational access through this landscape is defined by the Okaloacoochee Slough Trl and a few rural roads such as Co Rd 832 and Loop Rd. The presence of Lime Slough and Hooper Slough further illustrates the hydrological patterns that have shaped this region. This survey captures a modern look at a preserved natural area, providing a clear picture of the land's transition from open water and sloughs to the firm ground of the named islands.
