2018 Map of East of Little Cypress Swamp

About this map

The Everglades dominate the southern half of this Palm Beach County landscape, where the characteristic wetland patterns of south Florida meet the heavily engineered agricultural drainage systems of the north. The Miami Canal serves as the primary hydrological artery here, cutting a straight diagonal line through the terrain to manage water flow. Parallel to this waterway, Miami Canal Rd provides the only significant land-based access through an area defined by large-scale water management and township grids. This 2018 survey reveals the sharp contrast between the conserved natural environments and the systematic reclamation projects that have shaped the region's geography for decades.
