About this map

Everglades National Park covers this coastal landscape in Monroe County, Florida, where the labyrinthine waterways of the southwest coast meet the Gulf of Mexico. This environment is defined by its complex hydrography, featuring major arteries like the Harney River, Broad River, and Wood River. These rivers wind through a dense network of wetlands, connecting interior features such as Mud Lakes to the open waters of Ponce de Leon Bay.

Navigational routes for backcountry exploration are prominent throughout the area, including the Wilderness Waterway Trl and the Everglades Paddling Trl. These trails weave between significant bays and estuaries, including Tarpon Bay and Broad River Bay. Notable landmarks for coastal navigation include Gunboat Island near the mouth of the Shark River and the isolated channel of Graveyard Cr. The map details a wilderness area where the absence of roads emphasizes the preservation of this unique river-and-estuary ecosystem.
