The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) awarded the Florida Department of Environmental Protection $1.115 million under the National Cooperative Geologic Mapping Program (CFDA 15.810), State Component (STATEMAP) on September 1, 2025, for a two-year project period concluding August 31, 2027. The award supports new geologic mapping of two USGS 30 x 60 quadrangles—Miami and Everglades City—in South Florida. Deliverables include high-resolution geologic maps, geologic cross-sections, and explanatory text that will be released as Open-File Map Series (OFMS) and Open-File Reports (OFR) through the USGS. A progress report is due by August 31, 2026, with final geologic maps and supporting documentation due by project completion.

The project will employ field mapping, core drilling, core and cuttings analyses, and technical publication preparation to provide improved geologic resolution and enhanced understanding of South Florida stratigraphy compared to currently available mapping. Primary beneficiaries include coastal communities (Miami, Everglades City, and Marco Island), state agencies including the South Florida Water Management District, federal land managers at Big Cypress National Preserve and Everglades National Park, and the Everglades Restoration Program. The award contains no subrecipients and represents a Category 2 New Geologic Mapping project aligned with STATEMAP guidance criterion 3.
