2024 Map of Gator Hook Swamp

About this map

Big Cypress National Preserve and the Everglades National Park dominate this landscape, where the seasonal hydrology of southern Florida is meticulously recorded. The terrain is defined by a series of strands—linear cypress sloughs that channel water southward toward the coast—including Skillet Strand, Georges Strand, and the namesake Gator Hook Strand. This sheet captures the intersection of conservation lands and early 20th-century infrastructure, centered on the Tamiami Canal Number C-4 which runs along the northern boundary.
