2015 Map of Cochrans Pass

About this map

Lake Okeechobee dominates this mid-2010s aquatic survey, illustrating the complex intersection of several Florida counties within the lake's open waters. The map highlights the administrative boundaries where Glades, Okeechobee, Martin, Hendry, and Palm Beach counties meet. Along the western shoreline, the shallow waters of Observation Shoal give way to more sheltered features such as Moonshine Bay and the narrow waterway of Cochrans Pass. This area reflects the managed hydrology of South Florida, where natural bayous and passes are defined by the surrounding wetlands and the massive scale of the lake itself. It serves as a specific record of the shoreline and water depths before subsequent environmental shifts or water management changes altered these littoral zones.
