2024 Map of Lake Harbor

About this map

Lake Harbor sits at the southern terminus of the Miami Canal where it meets the vast expanse of Lake Okeechobee. This agricultural landscape is defined by its rigorous drainage grid and the massive dike system of the Rim Canal, which separates the fertile muck lands from the open waters and marshes of the lake. Small settlements and place names like Bean City, Watson, and Mott are clustered along the historical transportation corridor of Old US Hwy 27, reflecting the region's deep ties to sugar and vegetable farming. Notable landmarks include Ritta Island and Halifax Banks Island rising from the lake's shallows, and the Florida National Scenic Trail, which traces the embankment above the water. Cultural indicators such as Mutt Thomas Quarters and various farm roads show the organized labor and residential patterns essential to the area's specialized economy.
