1979 Map of Loxahatchee

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

Loxahatchee National Wildlife Refuge and Conservation Area No 1 dominate the southwestern portion of this orthophotomap, showing the stark transition between preserved wetlands and the emerging citrus and agricultural grid. This 1980s-era study reveals a landscape defined by hydraulic engineering, where the West Palm Beach Canal, L-8 Canal, and L-7 Canal dictate the movement of water across the flat terrain. Evidence of regional development and leisure appears in the form of a Zoological Garden and Recreation Area 6, complete with its own Boat Ramp. The map captures a moment when the settlement of Loxahatchee was comprised of large rectangular parcels and specialized infrastructure like a Landing Strip and multiple Radio Towers, illustrating the rural-to-suburban evolution of Palm Beach County.
