2015 Map of Lake Ingraham West

About this map

Everglades National Park encompasses the transition from land to sea along this southwestern Florida coastline, where the Gulf of Mexico meets the expansive Cape Sable. The landscape is dominated by tidal influences and coastal prairies, most notably Raulerson Prairie and the large water body of Lake Ingraham. Geographic markers like Northwest Cape and Middle Cape define the westward reach of the peninsula, providing critical reference points in a region of shifting sediment and mangrove-lined waterways. Little Sable Creek provides one of the few named drainage features in this environment, illustrating the complex hydrology of the southwestern tip of Monroe County. This 2015 data reflects the modern conservation boundaries of the park and the natural state of its coastal capes.
