About this map

Loxahatchee Slough dominates the central portion of this 2015 study, representing a significant natural landscape buffered by the expanding residential footprints of Palm Beach Gardens and West Palm Beach. The geography is defined by a rigid grid of major thoroughfares like PGA Blvd and Northlake Blvd, which intersect with Florida's Tpke to facilitate movement through the coastal plain.

Hydrological management is evident in the engineered paths of the M Canal and the Loxahatchee Canal, which drain the low-lying terrain near the settlement of Delta. The presence of the North Palm Beach County General Aviation Airport further illustrates the suburban infrastructure and transit-oriented development patterns typical of this era in Florida. The map provides a precise look at how planned communities and water control systems have reshaped the traditional wetlands of Palm Beach County.
