About this map

Big Cypress National Preserve defines this landscape of intricate wetlands and sawgrass prairies in southern Florida. The map illustrates a dense network of specialized paths and ecological features, including the Monroe Strand and Barnes Strand, which serve as vital drainage ways through the cypress forest. Several named prairies, such as Buckskin Prairie and Lost Dog Prairie, break the swampy terrain, providing distinct landmarks for those navigating this complex environment.

Infrastructure is minimal, centered primarily on recreation and resource management. The Florida National Scenic Trl traverses the region, connecting with numerous local routes like Sandy Road Trl and Poppenhager Trl. A rare point of aviation interest, the Romor Ranch Airport, appears in the northern reaches, while the southeastern corner is marked by the Fennell Camp Trl, reflecting the area's long-standing use for backcountry camps and seasonal hunting.
