2015 Map of Fiftymile Bend

About this map

Big Cypress National Preserve dominates this South Florida landscape, where the Collier Co Monroe Co line bisects the wilderness. The man-made infrastructure of the Tamiami Canal Number C-4 cuts across the northern reaches, supporting the remote outpost at Fiftymile Bend. To the north, the specialized Dade-Collier Training and Transition Airport occupies a distinct block of land, while traditional terrain features like Corn Dance Hammock and Hunters Hammock rise from the wetlands. Toward the southern border, the small settlements of Trail City and Pinecrest are connected by CR-94, reflecting the thin line of human habitation in this swampy interior. The drainage patterns of Dayhoff Slough indicate the natural hydrological flow that characterizes the region south of the canal.
