2012 Map of Lakeport

About this map

Lakeport and the archaeological significance of Fort Centre anchor this 2012 survey of the Glades County landscape. The geography is defined by the winding course of Fisheating Cr, which meanders through Sheridan Bend toward the massive water management infrastructure of the Herbert Hoover Dyke. This area represents a critical intersection of natural Florida hydrology and large-scale agricultural engineering, seen in the transition from the wetlands of Nicodemus Slough to organized plots like the Potato Farm. The map documents numerous local landmarks and family-named routes, including Snakepens Rd and Saddle Hammock, which provide a detailed look at land use near the northwestern shores of Lake Okeechobee.
