About this map

Big Cypress National Preserve dominates this portion of the Florida landscape, providing a clear look at the region's unique geography where Collier and Monroe counties meet. The infrastructure is centered primarily along the east-west corridor of the Tamiami Canal Number C-4, which runs parallel to the highway system connecting the small settlements of Monroe Station and Trailtown. These locations represent vital outposts in the expansive wetlands, serving as markers of human presence in a largely undeveloped environment.

The intersection of nature and government administration is evident at the Oasis Ranger Station-U.S. Government Airport, located near where the Florida National Scenic Trail crosses the canal. Further south, the path of CR-94 cuts diagonally across the lower sections of the map, illustrating the limited road network available in this protected wilderness area during the early twenty-first century.
