About this map

Everglades National Park dominates this south Florida landscape, where the vast, inundated marshes of Taylor Slough define the hydrological character of the region. The map captures a critical transition point between natural wetlands and the managed drainage systems that define modern Miami-Dade County. To the north, the elevation rises slightly at Paradise Key, a distinctive hammock that stands out against the surrounding sawgrass.

Modern infrastructure is represented by the intersection of nature and engineering along the eastern boundary, where Canal 111 E and the Aerojet Canal Number C-111 cut through the wetlands. These waterways, flanked by the Southern Glades Trl, reflect the complex history of water management and aerospace development in the Florida glades during the late twentieth century. This survey provides a baseline for tracking the restoration of the sheet's southern reach, encompassing portions of t58s r38e and t59s r38e.
