2018 Map of Palmdale

About this map

Palmdale serves as a small rural nexus in Glades County, where local streets like Main Ave and Broadway St meet near the Po. The surrounding landscape is defined by the hydrologic network of Fisheating Creek, which feeds into expansive wetlands such as Cowbone Marsh and Linden-Pens Marsh. Smaller settlements including Harrisburg and Hall City are situated along the transit corridors of Co Rd 74 and N Island Rd, marking the edge of a terrain dominated by seasonal water features. To the east, the Herbert Hoover Dike stands as a prominent engineered boundary against the marshland. This area reflects the precarious balance of South Florida's interior, where drainage features like Gopher Gully and York Branch dictate the placement of human habitation and agriculture away from the low-lying basins and lakes like Picnic Lake.
