The Everglades dominate this landscape west of the Atlantic coast, where the vast expanse of sawgrass and water is delineated by early 21st-century surveys. The region is defined by its artificial drainage infrastructure, specifically the North New River Canal, which cuts through the southwest corner of the sheet. This waterway, a major component of the historical effort to manage the Florida interior, serves as a primary reference point in an area otherwise characterized by wetlands. The boundary between Palm Beach Co and Broward Co bisects the northern third of the map, illustrating the administrative divisions imposed upon this environmental system. Lacking modern development or settlements, the map focuses on the hydrography and public land survey system grid, documenting the preserved state of the interior Glades as they appeared in 2018.
