About this map

Ochopee and Carnestown anchor this 2012 survey of the Florida Everglades, documenting a landscape defined by water management and transit corridors. The area’s infrastructure is dominated by the Turner River Canal and the natural flow of the Turner River, which bisect the marshlands and cypress stands. North of the main settlements, the transition from the Lee Cypress tract to the open Copeland Prairie illustrates the varied ecological zones of Collier County.

Transport history is preserved through the inclusion of the W J Janes Memorial Scenic Dr and the intersection of Co Hwy-29 near Jerome, marking the routes that navigate this swampy interior. Landmarks like the Copeland Tower and smaller drainage features such as Halfway Cr provide specific points of reference for those tracing the development of South Florida's backcountry and its modern environmental conservation efforts.
