2018 Map of West of Horseshoe Head

About this map

Big Cypress National Preserve occupies the southern reaches of this landscape, where the managed boundaries of conservation meet the vast wetland system of the Everglades. This 2018 survey captures a purely environmental interior along the border of Collier County and Broward County, where the land is defined by sawgrass marshes and cypress strands rather than human development. The absence of roads or permanent structures reflects the region's status as a protected wilderness, dedicated to preserving the natural sheet flow of water through South Florida. Map readers can trace the precise township and range lines, such as t51s r34e, which provide the only navigational grid across this otherwise fluid and pathless terrain.
