2021 Map of Goddens Strand

About this map

Goddens Strand and Cow Bell Strand define this landscape where the cypress swamps of Big Cypress National Preserve meet The Everglades. The map reveals a complex water management and transportation network essential for navigating this wetland environment, centered around Big Cypress Airfield. A intricate web of named roads and trails, such as Bert Billie Osceola Rd, Susie Billie Trl, and Snake Rd, provides access across the marshy terrain. Regional hydrology is dominated by the North Feeder Canal, West Feeder Canal, and Interceptor Canal, which channel water across county boundaries including Hendry, Collier, and Palm Beach counties. Remote landmarks like Whidden Lake and the Cypress Hammock Cir community offer specific points of interest for those studying the modern human footprint in these protected Florida wetlands.
