2012 Map of Madeira Bay

About this map

The coastal wetlands and estuarine environment of the Florida Everglades are mapped in detail here, where land and water merge through a network of hammocks and bays. This coastal edge features Maderia Hammock and Little Madeira Hammock, which rise slightly above the surrounding marsh. The hydrological system is defined by large inland water bodies such as Monroe Lake, Middle Lake, and Seven Palm Lake, all connected through drainage points like McCormick Cr. Along the shoreline of Florida Bay, the map traces the intricate geography of Terrapin Point and Crocodile Point. This 2012 survey illustrates the wilderness character of the region, including the Crocodile Point Trl and the remote Black Betsy Keys, showing the shoreline before further sea-level changes affected the Mangrove coast.
