2024 Map of Royal Palm Ranger Station SE

About this map

The Everglades landscape dominates this section of Miami-Dade County, characterized by the expansive Everglades National Park and the preserved Marjory Stoneman Douglas Wilderness. The map illustrates the specialized water management infrastructure of southern Florida, specifically the Aerojet-Canal-Number-C-111 and Canal 111 E, which cut through the wetlands. These canals are central to the region's complex hydrological history and current environmental restoration efforts. Higher ground and distinct ecological zones are marked by Paradise Key, while the natural drainage of Taylor Slough remains a vital feature for understanding the historic flow of water toward the coast. The presence of the Southern Glades Trl suggests the area's transition toward recreational and conservation use within the larger marsh system.
