About this map

Big Cypress National Preserve encompasses the majority of this landscape, where a network of water and wetlands defines the human footprint. Small settlements like Jerome, Copeland, and Ochopee are scattered along the major transit corridors of Tamiami Trl E and Co Rd 29. The map shows a transition from the open Copeland Prairie into the dense Deep Lake Strand, illustrating the unique hydrology of southwest Florida.

Drainage and infrastructure are central to the region's character, evidenced by the Tamiami Canal Number C-4 running parallel to the highway. Rural life and conservation interests are marked by several backcountry routes including Concho Billie Trl, Windmill Tram Trl, and the long stretches of Birdon Road. Traces of the region's logging and agricultural past can be found in place names such as Lee Cypress and the crossroads at Carnestown.
