2012 Map of Lake Okeechobee 1 (All Water)

About this map

Lake Okeechobee defines this entire quadrangle, which covers a significant portion of the open water in the central-western section of Palm Beach County. Published by the U.S. Geological Survey in 2012, the map illustrates the sheer scale of Florida’s largest freshwater lake. Unlike traditional topographic maps that detail landform contours and man-made structures, this sheet focuses exclusively on the water's surface and the geographic coordinates of the interior basin. The lack of land features emphasizes the lake's role as a dominant natural feature and a critical hydrologic center for the state, capturing its state as it appeared in the early 21st century.
