About this map

Tonys Mound sits within a landscape defined by industrial-scale drainage and agriculture along the boundary of Hendry and Palm Beach counties. This modern topographic survey illustrates the extensive water management system that has reshaped the northern Everglades, featuring the prominent Bolles Canal and the L-1 Canal. These artificial waterways cut through a terrain once dominated by features like Cowbone Hammock and the Little Cypress Swamp to the south.

Transport through this managed wetlands environment is facilitated by a grid of agricultural and access roads, including Dooley Grade Rd and Eckerd Youth Rd. A notable recreational corridor, the Florida National Scenic Trl, follows the embankment of the L 1 Dike Rd, offering a rare north-south path through the fields and marshes. The map provides a clear view of the Public Land Survey System township and range lines that govern the division of this productive Florida interior.
