2021 Map of Cochrans Pass

About this map

Lake Okeechobee dominates this landscape, showing a vast expanse of open water and marshy transitions at the intersection of several Florida counties. In the southwestern corner, the map details complex aquatic features such as Moonshine Bay and the shallow waters of Observation Shoal. These areas represent the delicate balance of the lake's ecosystem, where the natural flow of water is captured in the eponymous Cochrans Pass. The map also functions as a jurisdictional reference, illustrating where the boundaries of Glades, Okeechobee, Martin, Hendry, and Palm Beach counties meet within the water. This 2021 edition provides a contemporary record of these hydrological landmarks as they exist in the early twenty-first century, useful for understanding the current state of South Florida's interior waterways.
