About this map

Ave Maria Univ serves as the central hub of this South Florida landscape, where recent academic development meets the ancient hydrology of the Everglades. The map captures a unique intersection of modern planning and traditional wetlands, characterized by a complex network of cypress strands and swamps that define the local terrain. Significant water-saturated features like the Corkscrew Swamp and Baucom Cypress Strand weave through the township lines of t47s r28e and t47s r29e, illustrating the persistent reach of the regional drainage system even as infrastructure expands.

Industrial and agricultural transport is evident through the naming of specialized thoroughfares such as Oil Well Grade Rd and Pacific Grade Rd. These routes skirt the edges of elevated areas like Big Corkscrew Island and Smallwood Island, which provide dry footing amidst the surrounding strands. This 2018 survey reveals how the contemporary community of Ave Maria is integrated into a landscape of conservation and natural water flow, including Rice Straw Strand and Camp Keais Strand.
