2021 Map of Basinger NW

About this map

The Kissimmee River meanders across this Central Florida landscape, defining the winding boundary between Okeechobee and Highlands counties. To the west, the massive expanse of Lake Istokpoga dominates the southwest corner, feeding into the Istokpoga Canal and Istokpoga Cr. The map captures a transitional rural environment where the settlement of Plains sits near the intersection of Co RD 700 and McArthur Rd. Distinctive local landmarks such as Bluff Hammock, Hickory Hammock, and the curiously named Hole in the Wall indicate the varying elevation and vegetation types typical of the region. The Florida National Scenic Trl bisects the terrain, following the river valley through areas like Starvation Slough and past Dinner Bay, while local routes such as Rattlesnake Hammock Rd and Basinger Grove Rd provide access to the agricultural interior.
