About this map

Everglades National Park dominates this subtropical landscape in Miami-Dade County, revealing the critical intersection of natural water flow and 20th-century water management infrastructure. The slow, shallow movement of Taylor Slough is traced across the terrain, passing near Paradise Key as it drains through the heart of The Everglades.

This 2018 survey captures the distinct contrast between the protected wilderness and the engineering of the eastern boundary, where the Aerojet Canal Number C-111 and Canal 111 E illustrate the region's complex hydrological history. Access to this portion of the park is defined by the historic route of the Ingraham Hwy, which provides a corridor through the vast wetlands and prairie systems typical of the southern Florida interior.
