2024 Map of Gator Lake

About this map

The Everglades dominates this 2024 landscape in Broward County, revealing the complex water management system essential to South Florida. Two primary arteries, the Miami Canal and the South New River Canal, cut diagonally across the terrain, serving as critical infrastructure for drainage and navigation. The map illustrates the rigid Public Land Survey System grid overlaying the vast wetlands, where township and range boundaries like t50s r38e and t51s r38e partition the wilderness. In the southeastern corner, a distinct topographical feature known as The Pocket provides a rare point of interest in an otherwise remarkably flat and wet environment. This survey captures a moment in the modern era where engineering and conservation intersect in one of the most environmentally sensitive regions of the United States.
