2024 Map of Horseshoe Head

About this map

The Everglades dominates this 2024 survey, presenting a landscape defined by expansive wetlands and specialized terrain. The map centers on Horseshoe Head, a distinctive feature in the interior of this watery wilderness. To the west, the boundary of the Big Cypress National Preserve is marked along the Collier and Broward County line. This modern topographic study, produced by the U.S. Geological Survey, maps the intricate hydrography of south Florida's interior, where public land survey system lines like t50s r35e and t51s r35e provide the only human-imposed grid over the natural environment. The absence of roads or settlements underscores the preserved state of this region during the early 21st century.
