2024 Map of Sixmile Bend

About this map

Hillsboro Canal and Ocean Canal cut through the distinctive agricultural grid of the northern Everglades in this modern topographic study. The landscape is defined by its rectilinear drainage system, where the intersection of water and road networks facilitates the region's intensive farming operations. Belle Glade anchors the western edge, while the named junctions of Sixmile Bend and Ninemile Bend mark historic transit points along the canal banks. This survey illustrates the contemporary infrastructure of Palm Beach County, featuring heavy-duty thoroughfares like Southern Blvd and Hatton Hwy that connect the inland farming communities to the coast. Smaller local routes such as Brown's Farm Rd and Airport Rd weave between the expansive rectangular plots, providing a clear view of the modern land-use patterns in this part of South Florida.
