About this map

Lakeport stands as a primary point of reference along the northwestern shores of Lake Okeechobee in this 2018 survey of Glades County. The landscape is defined by the massive Herbert Hoover Dike, which separates the inland agricultural and residential developments from the expansive marshlands and open waters of the lake. To the west, the Florida National Scenic Trail winds through the region, following the dike and providing a terrestrial corridor through a landscape largely dominated by water and wetland.

Water management and natural drainage patterns intersect here, most notably where Fisheating Creek flows into Fisheating Bay. The map details a complex system of human-engineered waterways, including the Rim Canal, Old Moore Haven Canal, and Harney Pond Canal, which frame natural features such as Curry Island and the Monkey Box. For researchers, the presence of localized nautical features like Dynamite Pass and Moonshine Bay indicates the specific navigational and cultural history of this corner of the Florida Everglades.
