Lake Okeechobee and its extensive canal systems define the landscape of this southern Florida agricultural hub. The water-management infrastructure is prominent, featuring the Rim Canal bordering the lake and the Hillsboro Canal cutting through the heart of the region near Chosen Bridge. This 2012 survey reveals the structured grid of the surrounding sugar country, marked by thoroughfares like W Sugar House Rd and Hooker Hwy. The map provides a detailed view of the transition from the lakeside wetlands of South Bay and Torry Island to the developed infrastructure of the Belle Glade State Municipal Airport and the Foreverglades Mausoleum Gardens. Small settlements such as Runyon and Dahlberg appear as critical points within this network of drainage and production at the edge of the Everglades.
