2024 Map of Basinger NW

About this map

The Kissimmee River meanders through the heart of this Highlands and Okeechobee County landscape, shaping a network of marshy features and hammocks. Small settlements like Plains and landmarks such as the Lykes Fort Basinger Airport stand alongside significant water bodies including the northeastern tip of Lake Istokpoga and the Istokpoga Canal. The map reveals the intricate drainage and canal system of South Central Florida, where Istokpoga Creek and Oak Creek feed into the river valley. Notable terrain features like Hickory Hammock, Bluff Hammock, and the curiously named Hole in the Wall indicate the varying elevation and vegetation patterns of the region. The Florida National Scenic Trl tracks the river corridor, providing a modern perspective on a landscape defined by historic water management and ranching roads like McArthur Rd and Co Rd 700.
