2024 Map of Big Lake

About this map

The Everglades dominates this 2024 landscape in Palm Beach County, appearing as a vast, intricate network of wetlands and sawgrass prairies. This specific quadrangle captures the characteristic marshy terrain of the northern reaches of the system, where the environment transitions into the managed water systems of South Florida. The only major engineering intervention visible is the Hillsboro Canal, which cuts across the southern margin of the sheet. This canal represents the legacy of early 20th-century drainage efforts designed to redirect water from Lake Okeechobee toward the Atlantic coast, a project that fundamentally reshaped the region's hydrology and land use patterns.
