2012 Map of Bryant

About this map

Agricultural infrastructure and water management define this portion of Palm Beach County, where the West Palm Beach Canal cuts a sharp diagonal across the landscape. The settlement of Bryant sits at the northern end of this reach, while further south, Pelican Lake marks a node of activity in an otherwise rectilinear grid of fields and drainage canals. This region is a testament to the industrial-scale reclamation of the Everglades for sugar and vegetable production during the early 21st century. Grounded by a strictly planned network of thoroughfares like Hatton Hwy and Osceola Mill Rd, the map reveals the precise geometry of South Florida's inland economy, where small labor settlements and processing sites are linked by miles of irrigation works and private access roads.
