About this map

Graham Marsh and its surrounding wetlands dominate this Hendry County landscape, illustrating the intricate hydrology of South Florida's interior. The terrain is defined by low-lying sloughs and subtle elevation changes, where named features like Tom Still Hammock stand out as dry-ground landmarks amidst the seasonally flooded plains. These hammocks were historically vital for cattle ranching and early settlement, providing refuge for both people and livestock.

Transport through this water-logged environment is dictated by a sparse grid of roads, including Co Rd 832 and Loop Rd, which navigate around drainage features such as Collins Slough and Devils Garden Slough. The map documents a modern view of land division through the Public Land Survey System, showing township and range boundaries like t44s r31e and t45s r32e that still govern property ownership in this rural section of the state.
