About this map

The Loxahatchee National Wildlife Refuge and Conservation Area No 1 dominate the southwestern corner of this survey, illustrating the managed intersection of Florida’s natural wetlands and industrial water control. The landscape is defined by an extensive network of waterways, including the West Palm Beach Canal, L-40 Canal, L-8 Canal, and L-7 Canal, which dictate the drainage and transit patterns of the region.

Evidence of local utility and recreation appears through landmarks such as the Zoological Garden and Recreation Area 6, complete with a Boat Ramp and Gate for access. The interior is marked by several structures for observation and communication, including a Lookout Tower and multiple instances of a Radio Tower, while Seminole Road serves as a primary north-south artery through the central terrain.
