2018 Map of Whitewater Bay East

About this map

Everglades National Park encompasses this labyrinthine coastal environment in Monroe County, where the freshwater sawgrass of The Everglades meets the brackish mangrove estuaries of the Gulf coast. The map detail reveals an intricate network of tidal channels and rivers, including the Watson River, North River, and Roberts River, which drain into the expansive waters of Whitewater Bay. This 2018 survey provides an essential look at the modern state of these delicate wetlands, marking the path of the Wilderness Waterway as it winds through the interior. Notable maritime features such as Midway Pass, Hells Bay, and the narrow passage known as the Cutoff illustrate the complex navigation required in this amphibious landscape. For those studying environmental changes or planning remote excursions, the precise delineation of Mud Bay and the various islands like Midway Keys offers invaluable data on the contemporary shoreline and drainage patterns.
