About this map

The Everglades dominates the eastern half of this Palm Beach County landscape, appearing as a preserved expanse of wetlands defined by the distinctive water management infrastructure of South Florida. To the west, the land is partitioned into a rigid grid of agricultural or conservation blocks, intersected by essential water arteries including the L-7 Canal and the diagonal course of the Hillsboro Canal. These waterways and drainage channels serve as the primary landmarks in an area focused on land reclamation and hydrological control. Local transit is limited to a few straight-line corridors such as Dairy Rd and Co Hwy 827, which skirt the edges of the marsh and agricultural parcels, providing a 2021 perspective on the ongoing balance between the wilderness of the glades and human development.
