2012 Map of Brighton SE

About this map

Sarasota Colony and Big Bear Beach sit at the southern edge of this landscape, where the land meets the massive expanse of Lake Okeechobee. This area of Glades County is defined by a rigorous grid of water management and access roads, centered on the Harney Pond Canal and its namesake Harney Pond Canal Bridge. The map reveals a specialized infrastructure of Bureau of Indian Affairs routes, including BIA Hwy 283 and BIA Hwy 284, which provide access to interior points like Knotts Lndg. This network of roads, such as Frank Shore Rd and N Tucker Ridge Rd, reflects the drainage and development patterns typical of the Florida interior during the early 21st century.
