2012 Map of Little Cypress Swamp

About this map

Little Cypress Swamp dominates this specialized terrain in western Palm Beach County, where the landscape is defined by a rigorous grid of canals and agricultural infrastructure. The geometric layout suggests a highly managed water system, punctuated by Levee 3 and a network of arterial routes including Co Rd 835, L 1 Rd, and Blumberg Rd. A remote aviation facility, the Southern Ranch Airport, sits at the intersection of several large-scale drainage features, indicating the area's primary use for industrial-scale ranching or agricultural operations. This 2012 survey illustrates the intersection of Florida's natural wetlands with modern engineering, revealing how the swamp's footprint has been shaped by systematic irrigation and access roads.
