About this map

The Kissimmee River meanders south toward Lake Okeechobee in this 2015 study, marking the winding boundary between Okeechobee, Highlands, and Glades Counties. The settlement of Buckhead Ridge anchors the southern edge of the map, showing a dense network of residential streets including Chobee Loop and Linda Rd situated near the intersection of SR-78. Aviation infrastructure is prominent in the northern reaches, represented by the River Oak Airport and the Sunset Strip Airpark.

Wilder terrain and agricultural drainage dominate the central landscape, where the Florida National Scenic Trail follows the river's eastern bank. Local hydrology is defined by features like Grogan Lake, Popash Slough, and Lemkin Cr. Large-scale water management is evidenced by Canal L-41A and Canal Lake, while the rural character of the interior is reflected in names like Tomato Grade Rd and Cabbage Trl.
