2015 Map of West of Horseshoe Head

About this map

Big Cypress National Preserve dominates this portion of the Florida Everglades, illustrating the sprawling wetland wilderness at the boundary of Collier and Broward counties. This 2015 survey captures a landscape defined almost entirely by its natural hydrology and conservation status, appearing largely devoid of modern road networks or permanent human settlements. The map is primarily organized by the Public Land Survey System, showing sections within townships such as t50s r33e and t51s r34e. This cartographic layout reflects how the vast, flooded interior of the southern peninsula was systematically partitioned into a grid, even where the terrain remained inaccessible to traditional development.
