About this map

The vast wetland expanse of The Everglades dominates the southeastern portion of this landscape, where the agricultural and water-management systems of Palm Beach County meet the natural marsh. At the strategic junction of Southern Blvd and Connors Hwy lies Twentymile Bend, a key transit point for the region's movement of goods and people. To its south, the northern reaches of Wellington begin to emerge, bordering the extensive canal network that defines the area's hydrology.

Water management is central to the land's utility, marked by the long reaches of the West Palm Beach Canal, Ocean Canal, and the L-7 Canal. These man-made waterways illustrate the 20th-century engineering efforts to drain and regulate the Florida interior. Local landmarks like Riverside Memorial Park and roads such as Old Conners Rd and New Vandergrift Rd provide historical context for the grid-based settlement patterns and land use in this specific corner of South Florida.
