2021 Map of Melaleuca Head

About this map

The Everglades define the vast majority of this landscape in western Broward County, as documented in 2021. The map represents a portion of the conservation area where the intricate network of sawgrass and water remains the dominant feature. Human influence is nearly absent from this specific quadrangle, with Jessie Willies standing as one of the few named settlements within the interior marshland. In the southwestern corner, the topographic landmark Melaleuca Head rises slightly above the surrounding wetlands. This survey provides a modern baseline for the hydrologic and vegetative state of the river of grass, capturing a snapshot of the region's environmental preservation efforts.
