About this map

Miles City sits at the intersection of local transport and conservation lands in this 2018 survey of the Florida Everglades. The landscape is dominated by the sprawling Florida Panther National Wildlife Refuge and the Big Cypress National Preserve, where the wet terrain is defined by strands and sloughs. Indigenous history is physically marked on the land at the East Hinson Indian Mounds located near East Hinson Island.

Transport through this often-impenetrable wetland relies on established corridors like Turner River Rd and the Refuge Trail. Small hammocks and named rises such as Hog Island, Platt Island, and Pepper Hammock serve as dry-ground landmarks amidst the East Hinson Marsh and Okaloacoochee Slough. The survey also delineates expansive open areas like the Miles City Prairie and Fire Prairie, highlighting the delicate balance of the South Florida ecosystem.
