2021 Map of Taylor Slough

About this map

Everglades National Park covers the vast majority of this landscape, protecting a complex aquatic ecosystem in Miami-Dade County. The terrain is characterized by the slow southward flow of The Everglades, where a subtle network of wetlands and sawgrass marshes dominates the survey. A primary hydrological feature, Taylor Slough, is clearly visible as it drains toward the coast, serving as a critical artery for freshwater distribution. Human activity is largely restricted to the northern edge of the quadrangle, where Nike Missile Base Road provides access into the protected area. This modern survey reflects the enduring priority of conservation in South Florida, documenting the intersection of military-era infrastructure and the ongoing restoration of natural water flow patterns through the sloughs.
