2015 Map of Lake Ingraham East

About this map

Everglades National Park encompasses this entire coastal wilderness at the southwestern tip of the Florida peninsula, where the freshwater Everglades meet the saline influence of the Gulf of Mexico. The landscape is dominated by a complex network of mangrove-lined waterways and brackish lagoons, including the expansive Lake Ingraham and Whitewater Bay. This environment is shaped by both natural and man-made hydrology, evidenced by features such as the Homestead Canal and East Cape Canal, which cut through the low-lying terrain near Cape Sable. Inland, the map details transitional areas like Raulerson Prairie and the chain of Fox Lakes, including Little Fox Lake, Middle Fox Lake, and E Fox Lake. The presence of established drainage features like House Ditch and Slagle Ditch near Florida Bay reveals the historical attempts to manage water movement across this subtropical marshland.
