About this map

Little Cypress Swamp and the surrounding wetland reaches of the Everglades define this portion of the interior Florida landscape, where agricultural development and conservation efforts meet. The grid of the Public Land Survey System intersects with managed waterways like the Deer Fence Canal, reflecting the massive drainage and irrigation projects central to the region's 21st-century character. Large-scale citrus and agricultural operations are evident through features like TCP Farms and KT Grove Rd, while the aviation needs of these remote rural enterprises are served by the Southern Ranch Airport.

Conservation and recreation are represented by the Florida National Scenic Trl, which winds through the swampy terrain. This corridor along the Hendry and Palm Beach County line demonstrates the modern balance between industrial-scale farming and the preservation of native Florida ecosystems. Private access roads such as Blumberg Rd and Obern Rd penetrate the deep interior, providing a record of local land use patterns and property boundaries.
