About this map

Lake Istokpoga dominates the southern landscape of this 2018 Highlands County survey, its northern waters reaching toward the settlements of Istokpoga and Lorida. The map details a complex transition between the expansive aquatic environment of the lake and the agricultural and residential development to the north. Significant landmarks such as the Sebring Regional Airport and the distinct topographic rise of the Lake Wales Ridge provide context for the local economy and geography.

Water management and drainage are evident through the winding paths of Arbuckle Creek and its various branches, including Arbuckle Br, which feed into the lake. The interior of the lake features the prominent Big Island, while the surrounding land is defined by a grid of rural roads and residential lanes like Scrubpens Rd and Bishop Dairy Rd, suggesting a mix of cattle ranching, dairy farming, and suburban expansion typical of the central Florida interior during this era.
