2018 Map of Taylor Slough

About this map

Everglades National Park encompasses the vast majority of this landscape, dominated by the intricate hydrology of The Everglades. The natural flow of water is most evident through the meandering course of Taylor Slough, which cuts a distinct path southward through the wetlands. This 2018 survey reveals a landscape largely devoid of modern development, preserved as a wilderness where natural drainage patterns dictate the terrain. The only significant human engineering present is the Ingraham Hwy, which provides the primary terrestrial access route through this protected ecosystem. The road's straight trajectory stands in sharp contrast to the organic, finger-like drainage channels of the slough, illustrating the thin line between infrastructure and the expansive Florida marshland.
