2012 Map of Moore Haven

About this map

Moore Haven serves as the focal point of this 2012 survey, situated at the critical junction where the Caloosahatchee Canal and Okeechobee Waterway meet the southern rim of the lake. The engineering of the Florida Everglades is prominently displayed through the massive Herbert Hoover Dyke and a complex network of drainage channels, including the Old Moore Haven Canal and the Rim Canal. These features reflect the region's historical efforts to manage water flow for agriculture and navigation. To the north, the settlement of Washington Park and Moore Haven Bridge provide essential infrastructure for the community. Moving south and east, the landscape transitions into an organized grid of agricultural fields and smaller settlements like Benbow and Whidden Corner. Notable landmarks such as Gramlin Number Two and Hilliard's Private Airport punctuate the rural landscape, while Lake Hicpochee remains a significant natural feature in the southwest, partially bypassed by modern water control systems.
