2018 Map of Thompson Pine Island

About this map

Big Cypress National Preserve defines this landscape in southwestern Florida, where the wetland environments of the Everglades meet human land-use patterns of the early twenty-first century. The map illustrates a delicate balance between preserved wilderness and isolated infrastructure, featuring remote landing strips like Calusa Ranch Airport and Little Deer Airport that serve this interior region. The northern portion of the map is dominated by traditional topographical features such as Mullet Slough and Bamboo Strand, while the settlement of Wagon Wheel sits near the intersection of several natural drainage patterns.
