About this map

The Everglades landscape dominates this southern Florida survey, where the vast subtropical wetlands meet the slightly elevated terrain of Long Pine Key. This area within Everglades National Park is defined by a complex network of hiking and maintenance routes that pierce the pine rocklands. The presence of Nike Missile Base Road and Research Road in the southern portion of the sheet points to the region's mid-century history of military defense and ongoing ecological study.

Infrastructure for recreation is centered around the Long Pine Key Campground Loop, which serves as a hub for numerous paths like the Three-In-One Trl and the Long Pine Key Nature Trail/Fr#4 Trl. Toward the east, specialized trails such as the Boyscout Camp Trl and the Boyscouts of America Camp Trl suggest a long-standing tradition of youth outdoor education and conservation in this unique environment, accessible via the primary artery of Main Park Road.
