About this map

Miami Canal and Mud Canal dominate this landscape in western Broward County, illustrating the massive hydrological engineering required to manage water across the Florida Everglades. This survey captures the precise alignment of these waterways as they cut through the wetlands, serving as critical infrastructure for regional drainage and water management. The intersection of these canals with major transit corridors highlights the tension between the preserved natural expanse and the growing infrastructure of the South Florida metropolitan fringe. Researchers can trace the geometric precision of these man-made channels as they flow toward the coast, defining the boundary between managed wilderness and developed territory.
