About this map

Everglades National Park covers the landscape of this 2018 survey, centered on the transition between freshwater marsh and mangrove-lined waterways. The sheet is bisected by the Main Park Rd, providing the primary access through the southern interior toward the coast. A prominent landmark is Mahogany Hammock, a raised island of dense tropical hardwood trees that stands out against the surrounding sawgrass prairie of The Everglades.

The southwestern portion of the map reveals an intricate network of coastal hydrology. Water flows through systems like The Cutoff and into Pearl Bay, while further north, the Roberts River begins its course through the wetlands. Smaller bodies of water, such as Ninemile Pond and Pouratis Pond, dot the eastern side of the road, illustrating the varied pond and slough environments characteristic of the Miami-Dade and Monroe county line area.
