About this map

Hydrological engineering and large-scale agriculture dominate this portion of Palm Beach County, where the West Palm Beach Canal serves as a primary artery through the reclaimed Everglades. The landscape is defined by a rigid grid of agricultural fields, punctuated by numerous pumps and smaller waterways like the Ocean Canal and L-7 Canal. These systems manage the water table to sustain the intensive farming operations characteristic of this region in the early 1980s.
