About this map

Goddens Strand and Cow Bell Strand characterize this interior Florida landscape where the hydrological systems of The Everglades meet the northern reaches of the Big Cypress National Preserve. The map documents a complex network of water management features, including the North Feeder Canal and the Interceptor Canal (SE Canal St), which dictate the drainage patterns across the Hendry and Collier county lines.

Settlement patterns are represented by a high density of named roads and family-associated ways such as Bert Billie Osceola Rd and Henry Osceola Rd, reflecting local community ties. The presence of the Big Cypress Airfield and the Florida National Scenic Trl highlights the area's role as both a hub for regional accessibility and a preserved natural corridor. The grid-like canal maintenance roads and BIA highways, such as BIA Hwy 1280, reveal the ongoing intersection of indigenous lands, conservation efforts, and infrastructure.
