2021 Map of East of Deem City

About this map

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.
