Smallwood's store at Chokoloskee3.5 mi
A trading post on stilts at the end of the road, dealing with Seminole hunters and the few families scratching a living out of the Ten Thousand Islands.
The Tamiami Trail cuts the Everglades6.2 mi
Thirteen years of dredging and dynamite through sawgrass and limestone to link Tampa to Miami, men working from barges, sleeping on them, dynamiting a channel and using the spoil as roadbed.
The smallest post office in the United States6.5 mi
A former tomato-farm irrigation shed of about sixty square feet, pressed into service as the Ochopee post office after a fire in 1953 and never replaced.
The Ten Thousand Islands6.9 mi
Several hundred mangrove islands, not ten thousand, built up on oyster bars where the Everglades drains into the Gulf, shifting enough that charts date quickly and channels close.
