About this map

Everglades National Park dominates this 2015 study of the coastal marshlands in Monroe County. The map details an intricate network of tidal rivers and mangrove keys, including the winding courses of the Watson River, North River, and Roberts River. These waterways serve as the primary conduits through the subtropical landscape, eventually feeding into the expansive Whitewater Bay.

A notable highlight for navigators and historians is the inclusion of the Wilderness Waterway, a well-known passage through the coastal interior. The geography is further defined by distinct coastal features such as Midway Keys, Wedge Point, and the narrow Midway Pass. The presence of The Cutoff and the Nomans River illustrates the complex hydrology of this region, where the distinction between land and water is constantly shifting.
