About this map

Cypress Creek and the Loxahatchee River system define the drainage and settlement patterns of this coastal Florida landscape near the border of Martin and Palm Beach counties. The area exhibits a distinct shift from the dense residential developments of Tequesta, Jupiter, and Limestone Creek in the east to the more rural, grid-patterned acreage of Jupiter Farms further west. This transition is bridged by an extensive network of recreational paths, including the Ocean To Lake Hiking Trl and the Loxahatchee River State Trl, which navigate the preserved wetlands of Jonathan Dickinson State Park and the Loxahatchee Slough Natural Area. The presence of the Hungryland Slough Canal and the Tailwinds Airport underscores the ongoing engineering and infrastructure required to manage the low-lying terrain for both transport and habitation at the edge of the Atlantic coast.
