About this map

Water management systems define this South Florida landscape along the border of Highlands Co and Glades Co. During the early 1950s, the U.S. Corps of Engineers documented a sophisticated network of drainage and flood control infrastructure, characterized by prominent features like Harney Pond Canal and Prairie Canal. The map illustrates the transformation of the region's hydrology through an extensive system of a Spoil Bank and Levee structures designed to reclaim land from the natural wetlands.
