About this map

Moore Haven serves as the focal point of this South Florida landscape, situated at the critical junction where the Okeechobee Waterway and the Caloosahatchee Canal meet. The geography is defined by a complex network of man-made and natural water features, including the Rim Canal skirting the edge of Moonshine Bay and the marshy expanses of Lake Hicpochee. The map documents the local infrastructure in the 2020s, from the Glades County Courthouse at the heart of the settlement to the Moore Haven Bridge crossing the main channel.

Transport and recreation intersect through the presence of the Florida National Scenic Trl, which follows the embankments. Rural settlements like Whidden Corner and Benbow anchor the outlying agricultural areas to the south and east. The rectilinear road grid, including the Baker Hwy and Co RD 720, highlights the organized drainage and land management system characteristic of this region, further evidenced by the Ninemile Canal and Old Moore Haven Canal.
