2015 Map of Lake Placid

About this map

Lake Placid serves as the focal point of this Highlands County landscape, where numerous freshwater bodies define the community's layout and residential growth. This 2015 survey details a complex geography of interlocking lakes, ranging from the expansive Lake Istokpoga and Lake June in Winter to smaller interior basins like Lake Huntley, Lake McCoy, and Mirror Lake. The settlement pattern follows the shorelines, with development concentrated in Sylvan Shores and the southern reaches near Lake Placid. Genealogists may find interest in the location of Oak Hill Cem, while the inclusion of the Bumblebee Island and Big Island markers within Lake Istokpoga highlights the aquatic nature of the local terrain. The road network, featuring thoroughfares such as CR-29 and CR-621, reveals how modern infrastructure navigates the constraints of the Florida lake country, connecting dispersed lakeside neighborhoods and the eastern area of Sunvale.
