2015 Map of Big Lake

About this map

The Big Lake area of Palm Beach County is defined by its expansive, low-lying landscape near the southern terminus of Florida's inland water management systems. A key feature of this 2015 survey is the Hillsboro Canal, a major drainage artery that cuts across the southwest corner of the map. This infrastructure, typical of the regional efforts to manage the Everglades ecosystem, dictates the orientation of local roads and land boundaries. The map reflects a sparsely developed territory where natural hydrography and engineered channels are the primary landmarks, showing the modern state of land use in this specific interior section of the county.
