Big Cypress National Preserve encompasses the entirety of this landscape, showcasing the intricate wetland and prairie systems of southern Florida. The terrain is defined by distinct environmental features such as Buckskin Prairie and Lost Dog Prairie, which are interspersed with strands—shallow, slow-moving water channels—including Barnes Strand and Monroe Strand. The Florida National Scenic Trail winds through the eastern portion of the map, providing a terrestrial corridor through this complex aquatic environment. Human infrastructure is nearly absent from the interior, with the Romor Ranch Airport serving as a rare landmark amidst the wilderness. This survey captures the region just before the late 2010s, illustrating the preserved state of the Everglades' western fringe where natural water patterns dictate the geography.
