2021 Map of Long Island

About this map

Everglades National Park occupies the southern reaches of this landscape, where the vast wetlands of The Everglades transition into a system of sloughs and hammocks. The Shark River Slough dominates the northern and central sections, punctuated by slightly elevated terrain features like Palm Tree Head and Long Island. This survey captures the delicate balance between natural water flow and human infrastructure, most visible along the southern boundary where 8th St SW runs parallel to the Tamiami Canal Number C-4. To the east, the Agricultural Canal and an area known as The Pocket suggest the proximity of managed drainage and land use bordering the protected wilderness. The map provides a detailed view of the hydrologic patterns and tree islands that define this specific portion of the Florida ecosystem during the early twenty-first century.
