Everglades Topo

South Florida looks flat from the road. It isn't. A one- or two-foot rise can mark a tree island, a hammock, an old bank, or the only dry way through a slough — and none of it shows on an ordinary map. Everglades Topo reads dense public laser-elevation surveys and paints those small height changes over satellite imagery, so subtle high ground becomes obvious before you leave the truck. WORKS WITHOUT SIGNAL Every tile, contour line and elevation reading is stored on your phone. No cell service, no data plan, no spinner in the backcountry. TWO WAYS TO READ THE TERRAIN Map — satellite imagery with heat shading, one-foot contour lines, and thousands of marked high-ground candidates. Relief — how far the ground stands above the flat around it, which is the question that actually matters when you're looking for something dry. FIND IT, THEN GO • Thousands of natural high spots, each with its rise, highest point, size and nearest road • Tap any spot for detail, or jump straight to a coordinate • Record your route as you go, and keep each leg as its own trail • Distance scale, compass heading and a follow-me mode BUILT FROM REAL SURVEY DATA Elevation comes from public 1-metre LiDAR — the same source used for flood and habitat mapping — processed to bare earth, so trees and buildings don't masquerade as terrain. WHERE IT COVERS Big Cypress, Everglades National Park and the Homestead–Flamingo corridor, the southern glades, Fakahatchee, Rookery Bay and the Collier Boulevard approach, and the Homestead / Model Land / Biscayne coast. WHAT THIS IS NOT A high-detail terrain reference for scouting and exploring — not a navigation, safety or survey instrument. Public elevation data carries errors and gaps, vegetation affects it, and water levels change. Scout with it, then verify conditions in the field.
