Outline of the resources of Big Cypress National Preserve, Florida (with maps of existing conditions, trails, and proposed wilderness area), and discussion of potential wilderness designation for part of the preserve. This survey found that none of the lands were suitable for such designation at the time (leaving the area open to oil and gas exploration and extraction), but the matter was to be reconsidered in 5 years when further information was available.
