2015 Map of Whidden Lake

About this map

Big Cypress National Preserve encompasses the majority of this landscape, reflecting a protected subtropical wilderness in Collier County. The map details the central corridor of the Florida National Scenic Trail, which winds north-to-south through a landscape defined by seasonal water flow and slight elevation changes. Significant hydrographic features include Whidden Lake and the wetlands of Mullet Slough, while Bamboo Mound provides a rare point of named topographical interest in the southern portion of the quadrangle. The lack of established roads and settlements highlights the preserved nature of this interior swamp and prairie system during the early 21st century.
