2018 Map of Lostmans River Ranger Station

About this map

Everglades National Park dominates this coastal landscape, where the labyrinthine waterways of the western Florida shelf meet the Gulf of Mexico. The map details a complex network of bays and mangrove keys, including First Bay, Second Bay, and Onion Key Bay, connected by the Wilderness Waterway. Inland sites such as Hamilton Mound and Johnson Mound suggest a long history of human presence in this amphibious environment, while the Lostmans River Ranger Station serves as a modern outpost for park management. The transition from open water to interior sawgrass and tidal creeks is visible through features like Lostmans River and Toms Creek, illustrating the delicate balance of the river-of-grass ecosystem. Coastal landmarks such as Highland Beach and Porpoise Point mark the outer edges of this protected wilderness.
