2018 Map of South of Coopertown

About this map

Everglades National Park dominates this landscape, showing the vast expanse of The Everglades where sawgrass marshes and tree islands stretch toward the horizon. The northwestern corner is defined by the Blue Shanty Canal, a linear hydrologic feature characteristic of South Florida's drainage and water management history. In the southeastern portion, the grid of the Miami-Dade County road system begins to encroach upon the natural wetlands. This transition zone illustrates the tension between urban expansion and conservation, where numbered routes like SW 136th St and SW 237th Ave terminate abruptly at the park boundary. The map provides a precise view of the various wetlands and hammocks that form the unique ecological fabric of this region before they give way to the agricultural and residential development found further east.
