Broward County Florida map|Fort Lauderdale, Beaches, and the Everglades

The Broward County Florida map covers a major southeast Florida county where a dense Atlantic urban corridor meets the western Everglades conservation area. Fort Lauderdale is the county seat, and other large municipalities include Pembroke Pines, Hollywood, Coral Springs, Miramar, Pompano Beach, and Davie.

Broward County was established in 1915 and contains 31 municipalities. The U.S. Census Bureau estimated 2,013,317 residents on July 1, 2025.

Urban Coast and Western Conservation Land

Most residents live in the eastern part of the county between the Atlantic coast and the Everglades. County figures describe roughly 428 square miles of urban area and approximately 797 square miles of conservation area.

This sharp east-west contrast is one of the county’s defining geographic features. Dense cities, airports, ports, highways, and neighborhoods occupy a much smaller portion than the protected western landscape.

Map Coverage and Three A3 Versions

The download includes color, black-and-white, and outline maps. The labeled versions locate selected municipalities, while the outline removes existing labels and fills for custom annotation.

This Broward County Florida map focuses on the county boundary and its relationship to Palm Beach, Miami-Dade, Collier, and Hendry counties. It is not a municipal-boundary atlas, nautical chart, evacuation map, or parcel survey.

Fort Lauderdale and the Waterway Network

Fort Lauderdale contains county government, courts, business districts, Port Everglades, tourism services, and major transportation connections. The New River, Intracoastal Waterway, and residential canals shape the city’s layout.

The destination organization reports more than 300 miles of navigable inland waterways across Greater Fort Lauderdale. This network supports marinas, boating, water taxis, waterfront homes, and visitor activities.

Beach Communities and Tourism

Broward County has approximately 24 miles of sandy Atlantic shoreline. Beach communities extend from Deerfield Beach through Pompano Beach, Fort Lauderdale, Dania Beach, Hollywood, and Hallandale Beach.

Swimming, fishing, diving, boating, restaurants, hotels, and cruise travel support the visitor economy. Beach conditions and local access rules should be checked through current city and county sources.

Large Inland and Suburban Cities

Pembroke Pines, Coral Springs, Miramar, Sunrise, Plantation, and Davie form major inland residential and commercial centers. Their growth shows that the county is not limited to Fort Lauderdale and the beach corridor.

Thirty-one municipalities create a complex local-government pattern. A county-level map may label selected cities but does not necessarily show every municipal boundary.

Everglades and Water Management

Western Broward County is dominated by Everglades and water-conservation lands. These areas store and move water, protect habitat, and limit westward urban development.

Access, water levels, recreation rules, and wildlife conditions vary. Current agency maps should be used for conservation-area travel, boating, and environmental decisions.

Color Map

The color version separates Broward County from neighboring counties. It is suited to presentations that need Fort Lauderdale, major suburban cities, the Atlantic coast, and the western conservation area in one view.

The black-and-white map removes color fills but keeps the county outline and selected place names. It can be printed in grayscale while retaining the main location information.
