2018 Map of Moore Haven

About this map

Moore Haven serves as the focal point of this modern topographical study, situated at the critical junction where the Okeechobee Waterway and Caloosahatchee Canal meet. The town's grid, including streets like El Dorado Ave NW and Azalea Ave, sits protected behind the massive Herbert Hoover Dike. This engineering feat separates the inhabited lands from the marshes of Lake Hicpochee and the Rim Canal. To the south, the landscape is defined by agricultural drainage systems like Ninemile Canal and smaller rural settlements such as Benbow and Whidden Corner. The presence of the Florida National Scenic Trail following the dike highlights the area's transition from an industrial waterway hub to a site for recreational transit. Tracing the Old Moore Haven Canal alongside newer developments illustrates the long-term water management strategies that have shaped the Glades and Hendry County borderlands.
