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?

I guess so. I love swamps. Though in Florida, I'd probably have to run
from alligators. But maybe not, or maybe not**.

Hover over that little pine tree looking thing and it will say that is
the Loxahatchee wildlife preserve.

I couldn't find the pine tree. but I did find a the name you give and
that led to

**"Stop by our visitor center to learn about hiking, biking, wildlife
observation, photography, hunting, fishing and other great recreational
opportunities on the refuge." I think I will do that on my next trip
to visit my brother in Florida.

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.

I'm surprised it looks so different from the Everglades. I know they
combine pictures taken at different times, but the color change line is
curved.
