2018 Map of Marcy

About this map

Lake Okeechobee dominates the southwestern corner of this survey, where the Florida National Scenic Trail follows the shoreline levee. The landscape is defined by the complex hydrology of the northern Everglades region, characterized by numerous drainage channels including Nubbin Slough, Van Swearingen Creek, and Lettuce Cr. In this rural section of the state, the small settlement of Marcy sits near the intersection of several county lines, including the borders of Okeechobee, St. Lucie, and Martin Counties. The presence of the Flying Cow Air Ranch Airport and landmarks like Jones Hammock highlight the mixture of agricultural land use and natural marshland features. The intricate grid of rural roads, such as Berman Rd and Cross Bar Rd, provides a clear view of how large-scale tracts were organized for cattle ranching and citrus production in the early 21st century.
