Fig. 1Sawgrass prairie at sundown

Landform

A slow, shallow river of grass. Sawgrass prairie, mangrove maze, cypress domes, and the meeting of temperate and tropical America.

Field note

Sheet flow moves from Lake Okeechobee toward Florida Bay an inch at a time. Mangroves braid the salt edge; sawgrass owns the freshwater interior. Sunset is the hour the prairie becomes a mirror.
