2024 Map of Weavers Station

About this map

The Marjory Stoneman Douglas Wilderness anchors this coastal section of South Florida, where the freshwater systems of the Everglades National Park meet the brackish reaches of the Ten Thousand Islands National Wildlife Refuge. The landscape is a complex of sawgrass and cypress, notably the Fakahatchee Strand and open areas like Dan House Prairie and Four Stake Prairie. Human infrastructure is largely defined by the linear corridor of the Tamiami Trl E and the adjacent Tamiami Canal Number C-4, which represent the primary 20th-century effort to bridge the swamp between East and West coasts. To the south, the map details the intricate tidal hydrology of the Fakahatchee River and Ferguson River as they drain into Fakahatchee Bay near Daniels Point.
