The Everglades dominate this landscape, illustrating the vast marshland environment at the intersection of Palm Beach and Broward counties. The map reflects a nearly untouched expanse of the Floridian interior as it appeared in 2021, defined largely by wetlands and hydrological features rather than human settlement. The most significant man-made alteration to the natural drainage is the North New River Canal, which cuts diagonally across the southwestern corner. This waterway is a remnant of early twentieth-century drainage efforts designed to reclaim land from the swamp. The lack of roads, structures, or named townships emphasizes the preservation of this region as a wilderness area, where the primary markers are the sectional lines of the Public Land Survey System rather than urban development.
