About this map

Lake Istokpoga dominates the southeastern quadrant of this Highlands County landscape, providing a massive freshwater focal point for the surrounding wetlands and residential developments. The settlement of Lorida sits near the northeastern shore, positioned along Co Rd 700 amidst a network of local roads such as Blessings Ave and Bull Rd. To the northwest, the Sebring Regional Airport occupies a significant footprint, marking a shift toward regional infrastructure near the Lake Wales Ridge.

Water management and conservation are central themes, visible in the winding path of Arbuckle Creek as it feeds into the lake and the protected lands of the Lake Wales Ridge Wildlife And Environmental Area. The map reveals a transition from the elevated ridge terrain down to the aquatic systems of Josephine Cr and Grassy Cr, illustrating how the local geography dictates the layout of both natural preserves and rural homesteads.
