2021 Map of Chancy Bay

About this map

Lake Okeechobee dominates the western half of this landscape, its vast surface meeting the eastern shoreline along a structured levee system. This 2021 survey reveals a transitional area where the open waters of the lake give way to the wetlands and managed lands of Chancy Bay. Along the eastern rim, a corridor of transportation and recreation follows the shoreline, featuring the Florida National Scenic Trl and the Florida East Coast rail line. The interior terrain is defined by a grid of canals and drainage ditches typical of south Florida's reclaimed agricultural and ranching lands. Grounded features like the Brady Ranch Airport and local developments such as Chukker Cir indicate the modern footprint of land use in this part of Martin County, situated just across the county line from Okeechobee County.
