2015 Map of Lake Hicpochee

About this map

Lake Hicpochee and the managed water systems of south Florida define this landscape at the intersection of Glades and Hendry counties. The Caloosahatchee Canal and the Okeechobee Waterway cut through the terrain, illustrating the region's complex engineering and drainage history. Local family names and agricultural legacies are evident through features like Donald Peeples Pond, Peeples road, and Graham Dairy Rd, while the location of Storey reflects the small, often roadside-centered community nodes found in this part of the state. The presence of Beautiful Hammock and Woodyard Hammock highlights traditional Florida landscape features—elevated stands of hardwoods—standing in contrast to the surrounding water-managed plains. Infrastructure for local transit and cross-state movement is anchored by SR-80 and SR-78, with the Negro Jim Hammock Bridge serving as a specific landmark in the southern portion of the quadrangle.
