About this map

Big Cypress National Preserve defines this landscape in Collier County, where the sprawling cypress swamps and prairies of southern Florida are documented in 2015. The geography is characterized by expansive natural openings such as Buckskin Prairie and Lost Dog Prairie, interspersed with specialized infrastructure supporting the region's remote ranching operations. The presence of private aviation facilities like Lost Horn Ranch Airport and Romor Ranch Airport highlights the logistical challenges of the terrain, where air travel serves as a vital link for isolated homesteads. For those exploring the wilderness on foot, the Florida National Scenic Trail winds through the eastern portion of the map, while unpaved routes like Monument Rd and Sandy Rd provide limited vehicular access. This survey offers a detailed look at the land management boundaries within the preserve, illustrating the intersection of protected public lands and enduring private ranching traditions.
