Are you talking about the white looking square that says "map" on it?
Click that and you get a map, not the aerial photo.


No, the big thing right in the middle of the picture, shaped a little
like a sweet potato, but dark green, part of the map-satellite view, but
a part that has no roads or buildings. It's not the same color as the
unbuilt area to its southwest or any of the Everglades. The way it is
built up around the edge seems different too.

Are you talking about the swamp?
Hover over that little pine tree looking thing and it will say that is
the Loxahatchee wildlife preserve.
As soon as you get much west of the Fl Turnpike everything used to be
swamp and most of the developed areas were drained and filled. What
was not is still swamp and federally protected "wetland" or preserves.
