About this map

Everglades National Park and the Marjory Stoneman Douglas Wilderness dominate this southern Florida landscape, where freshwater marshes meet the saltwater systems of the Atlantic coast. The map illustrates a complex network of artificial waterways designed for water management, including Canal Number C-109, Canal Number C-110, and the Aerojet Canal Number C-111. These engineering features intersect with the natural expanse of The Everglades, highlighting the ongoing balance between human infrastructure and wetland preservation.

Transportation routes like Old Dixie Hwy and Card Sound Rd skirt the edges of the mangroves, leading toward the coastal transition zones. Along the shoreline, landforms such as Narrow Point and Barnes Point overlook the protected waters of Barnes Sound and Manatee Bay. Small islands, including Short Key and Main Key, mark the northern reaches of the Florida Keys archipelago at the border of Miami-Dade Co and Monroe Co.
