2018 Map of East of Lone Palm Head

About this map

The Everglades dominate this landscape, revealing the expansive wetland character of Broward County before it reaches the densely populated coastal rim. The most prominent human interventions in this environment are the massive drainage and water management projects, specifically the Miami Canal and Mud Canal. These waterways slice diagonally across the terrain, serving as critical infrastructure for controlling the flow of water through the marshlands. A major interstate highway cuts horizontally across the lower third of the quadrangle, illustrating the modern transport corridor that bridges the wilderness of the interior with the urbanized regions of South Florida. This 2018 survey provides a clear look at the persistent boundary between the natural preservation of the glades and the engineered systems required to sustain local development.
