2021 Map of La Belle NW

About this map

Rainey Slough and the winding course of Fisheating Creek dominate this corner of Glades County, Florida, illustrating a landscape defined by seasonal water flow and conservation land. The presence of the Fisheating Creek Wildlife Management Area Trail signifies a region dedicated to wilderness preservation, where public land use is prioritized over urban development. This hydrological network is further connected by Chaparral Slough and Bee Br, which feed into the larger wetlands typical of the region north of Lake Okeechobee. Surface transportation is limited to a grid of rural routes such as Tasmania Rd and Fire Tower Rd, reflecting a low-density settlement pattern. The map showcases the transition from agricultural tracts to protected natural corridors, providing a detailed view of the area's environmental management in the early twenty-first century.
