2021 Map of Flamingo

About this map

Flamingo sits at the southernmost edge of the Florida peninsula, serving as a vital outpost where the freshwater glades meet the saltwater of Florida Bay. This 2021 survey details a complex amphibious landscape within Everglades National Park, characterized by a network of historic water routes and modern trails. The Wilderness Waterway snakes through Whitewater Bay, while the Homestead Canal and Bear Lake Trl provide land-based access to the interior. Cultural and geographical markers like the Bear Lake Mound and Cape Sable indicate a long history of human interaction with this shifting environment. The map captures the infrastructure of the Flamingo Campground B-C Loop Road and Flamingo Lodge Highway, alongside isolated features like Joe Kemp Key and Roberts Prairie, illustrating the balance between public access and environmental preservation in this coastal wilderness.
