2018 Map of Lake Ingraham West

About this map

Cape Sable defines the southwestern edge of mainland Florida in this recent survey, where the terrestrial wilderness of Everglades National Park meets the open waters of the Gulf of Mexico. The map details the transition between the coastal ridge at Northwest Cape and the internal tidal hydrology of Lake Ingraham. These subtropical lowlands are characterized by expansive wetland systems like Raulerson Prairie and intricate tidal arteries such as Little Sable Creek. Grounded in the 2018 landscape, this record illustrates the coastal morphology of Middle Cape and the protected environment of The Everglades, highlighting the intricate relationship between the peninsula's southern tip and the surrounding sea.
