Everglades National Park dominates this coastal survey, where the terrestrial wilderness of southern Florida meets the Gulf of Mexico. The landscape is defined by the intricate intersection of tide and freshwater, most notably at Ponce de Leon Bay and the mouth of the Little Shark River. This area is characterized by low-lying mangrove systems and estuarine features like Shark River Island and the elevated ground of Shark River Bluff. To the south, the coastline reaches toward Cape Sable, with Big Sable Cr winding through the marshes. This 2015 data reflects the modern shoreline of one of North America's most significant subtropical wildernesses, showing the natural state of the coast in Monroe County.
