The boundary between Palm Beach and Broward Counties defines this modern coastal landscape, where the dense suburban grids of South Florida meet the edge of the Everglades. This map documents a complex network of planned communities and incorporated cities, including Parkland, Coconut Creek, and Boca Raton. A sophisticated system of water management is visible through the prominent Hillsboro Canal and numerous artificial water bodies like Sailboat Lake and Crystal Lake. Large-scale public spaces such as Quiet Waters Park and Tradewinds Regional Park are interspersed among residential developments like Sandalfoot Cove and Paradise Palms. The presence of the Westview Community Cem and University Park highlights the established infrastructure of this high-density region. Key transportation corridors, including the Sawgrass Expressway, facilitate the continuous sprawl that connects these once-distinct municipalities.
