Everglades National Park dominates this coastal survey, where the intricate mangrove and marsh systems of the Everglades meet the Gulf of Mexico. The landforms here are shaped by the tidal flow of the Little Shark River and Big Sable Cr, which carve through the low-lying terrain near Cape Sable. A prominent landmark, Shark River Island, sits at the mouth of the river system, protected by the rising ground of Shark River Bluff. This modern topography documents the delicate boundary between the brackish waters of Ponce de Leon Bay and the interior wetlands, providing a detailed look at a coastline that remains largely unchanged by modern development and infrastructure due to its protected status.
