About this map

Everglades National Park meets the Gulf of America in this coastal survey of Monroe County. The landscape is a complex labyrinth of mangrove-lined tidal rivers and bays, where the Broad River and Rodgers River discharge into the open gulf. Navigational routes like the Wilderness Waterway and the evocative The Nightmare demonstrate the challenging geography of these coastal wetlands. Along the shoreline, landforms such as Highland Beach and Shark Point provide clear reference points for maritime and backcountry travel.

Water-based transit dominates the region, as evidenced by the Everglades Paddling Trl and the Wilderness Waterway Trl, which connect internal water bodies like Broad Creek and the Wood River to the larger Ponce de Leon Bay. This map documents a wilderness area defined by shifting water levels and intricate drainage patterns, such as those found at Graveyard Creek and the Harney River, which flow through the heart of The Everglades.
