2015 Map of Sunniland

About this map

Sunniland and Harker anchor this portion of the Florida interior, where the managed grid of agricultural development meets the native terrain of the western Everglades. The map illustrates a distinctive landscape of human engineering and natural hydrology, defined by the extensive canal and drainage networks that surround Roberts Lake. Along the southern boundary, the transition into the Big Cypress National Preserve is marked by a shift toward more fragmented wetland features like Sick Island and Owl Hammock. The prevalence of infrastructure labels such as Oil Well Rd and Oil Well Park Rd points to the region's history with the local oil industry, providing a clear record of the access routes used to navigate this low-lying territory in the mid-2010s.
