2024 Map of Royal Palm Ranger Station

About this map

Everglades National Park and the sprawling Marjory Stoneman Douglas Wilderness dominate the western portion of this region, preserving the characteristic landscape of The Everglades. This modern survey illustrates the critical water management infrastructure that defines south Florida, featuring the Aerojet Canal Number C-111, Canal 111E, and Canal L-31W. These man-made waterways contrast with natural features like Taylor Slough and the various hammocks and keys, including Parachute Key and Pine Island. To the northeast, the transition from protected wilderness to human development is marked by the grid of Miami-Dade County roads and the Miami Homestead General Aviation airport. Significant natural landmarks such as Paradise Key are preserved within the wilderness boundaries, while the Southern Glades Trl provides a recreational route through the managed wetlands.
