About this map

Loxahatchee National Wildlife Refuge and the Everglades Wildlife Management Area dominate the western half of this landscape, representing the managed watery wilderness of the northern Everglades. This area, identified as Conservation Area No 2, shows the complex system of levees and water control that defines the region's hydrology. To the east, the rapid expansion of the built environment is evident in the burgeoning street grids of Coral Springs and Parkland. The Hillsboro Canal serves as a stark dividing line between the untamed conservation lands and the developing suburbs. Revisions in purple highlight the growth of residential blocks and a Middle Sch, illustrating the transition of former agricultural or wetlands into a planned community during the late twentieth century.
