About this map

Loxahatchee Slough dominates the northern expanse of this Florida landscape, showcasing the intricate drainage patterns and wetlands as they appeared in the late 1940s. The southern portion reveals a transition toward organized agriculture and early suburban development within Palm Beach Farms, where the West Palm Beach Canal serves as a critical artery for water management. A prominent Levee runs along the canal, marking the boundary of human engineering against the natural slough.
