2012 Map of Lone Palm Head

About this map

Big Cypress National Preserve occupies the southwestern portion of this landscape, defining a region where water management and conservation efforts converge. The terrain is characterized by a network of drainage features and human-engineered boundaries, most notably Levee 60 and the Interceptor Canal, which channel the flow across the low-lying interior. Central to this area is Lone Palm Head, a distinct terrain feature that stands as a landmark amidst the wetlands. Transport through this environment is facilitated by major corridors, including the path of Highway 84 and the north-south transit of Lemon Grove Rd. This 2012 survey illustrates the modern hydrological infrastructure required to maintain the balance between the preserve and the surrounding Broward County region.
