2012 Map of Melaleuca Head

About this map

Jessie Willies and Melaleuca Head stand as the primary named features in this region of Broward County during the early 2010s. This USGS survey focuses on a segment of the Florida landscape defined by these specific markers, providing a precise coordinate reference for researchers and local historians tracking the geography of the Everglades. While the map is sparse in terms of traditional road networks or industrial infrastructure, the identification of Melaleuca Head and the Jessie Willies area serves as an essential point of orientation for understanding land use and named wilderness landmarks in this part of South Florida. The lack of contour lines on this edition reflects the remarkably level terrain characteristic of this coastal inland environment.
