2015 Map of Horseshoe Head

About this map

Big Cypress National Preserve dominates the southwestern corner of this landscape, marking a protected expanse where the Florida Everglades meet the interior cypress swamps. The terrain is notably sparse, defined by the isolated island of Horseshoe Head, a topographic rise in a largely uniform environment. This 2015 survey reflects a remote section of South Florida where the boundary between Broward County and Collier County is the primary human demarcation. The map illustrates a region largely untouched by the dense residential and commercial expansion seen further east, preserving a specific pocket of subtropical wilderness. For researchers and conservationists, this sheet provides the exact location of named heads and administrative boundaries in an area where few other landmarks exist to guide the way.
