About this map

Lake Okeechobee and its intricate shoreline dominate this western edge of the lake, where the water meets the regulated drainage systems of the Florida interior. The landscape is defined by the massive Herbert Hoover Dyke, a critical piece of water management infrastructure that separates the open waters of Fisheating Bay and Moonshine Bay from the agricultural and residential lands to the north. These protected waters, including the curiously named Monkey Box, reflect the complex hydrology of the region as it transitions from natural flow to engineered control.

Waterways like the Rim Canal and Old Moore Haven Canal trace the perimeter of the lake, facilitating navigation and water distribution. The presence of Fisheating Cr and the Fisheating Creek Bridge highlights the intersection of local transport with the natural marshlands. To the north, a small network of residential roads such as Alligator Rd Nw and Bluegill Blvd suggests a community closely tied to the waterfront and the recreational opportunities of the Glades.
