2012 Map of Little Marsh

About this map

Little Marsh defines this Collier County landscape as it appeared in the early 21st century, revealing a sparse and specialized pattern of human presence within the Florida Everglades. The sheet is primarily characterized by the vast expanses of the Big Cypress swamp, where named features often reflect the small, isolated camps used by local inhabitants. Distinctive outposts such as Pole Pen Camp, Charlie Cypress Camp, and Charlie Billie Camp are noted alongside the natural elevation of Charlie Fewl Hammock. These labels point to a lineage of land use tied to the region’s traditional inhabitants and seasonal hunters. The straight path of highway 84 provides the only major modern infrastructure, cutting through the wetlands and connecting this remote territory to the broader southern Florida network.
