About this map

The Okeechobee Waterway and the St Lucie Canal dominate this South Florida landscape, illustrating the massive hydrological engineering efforts of the mid-20th century. At the intersection of these vital water routes, the St Lucie Lock and Dam serves as a focal point for maritime activity and regional water management. The small settlement of Arundel sits alongside the canal, while the surrounding terrain is marked by the Green Ridge and the winding course of Cane Slough. To the northeast, the South Fork St Lucie River flows through the Hanson Grant, an area that includes Phipps Park and a local Fish Hatchery. The introduction of the Toll Road Turnpike represents the expanding transportation infrastructure that began to bisect these traditional wetlands and agricultural tracts during the early 1950s.
