2015 Map of Melaleuca Head

About this map

Jessie Willies is the sole named settlement within this portion of Broward County, situated in a landscape primarily defined by the topographic feature of Melaleuca Head. Produced by the U.S. Geological Survey using digital imagery from 2013 and road data from the following years, this map records the sparse human footprint in an area dominated by natural terrain. The absence of traditional landmarks such as schools, churches, or heavy infrastructure highlights the distinctive character of this South Florida location. Researchers and genealogists focused on this region can use this survey to pinpoint the exact location of Jessie Willies at a point when modern mapping technologies were beginning to integrate with historical place names.
