Big Mound rises as a focal point in this portion of the northern Everglades, an area defined by the massive hydrological engineering projects of Palm Beach County. The landscape is dominated by the geometric precision of the Central and Southern Florida Flood Control Project, most notably the West Palm Beach Canal and the L-8 Canal. These waterways, along with the Big Mound Canal, illustrate the 20th-century effort to drain and manage the wetlands for agricultural and residential use.
