2021 Map of Okeechobee NW

About this map

The Kissimmee River meanders across this Central Florida landscape, marking the boundary lines between Highlands, Okeechobee, and Glades counties. The river valley is a complex of wetlands and natural drainage features like Popash Slough and Grogan Lake, contrasted by the straight engineered lines of Canal C-41A. In the south, the settlement of Buckhead Ridge sits at the edge of the marshes, organized by a network of local roads such as Chobee Loop and Linda Gardens Rd NE. Transportation through this often-saturated terrain relies on infrastructure like the Harding Bridge and the Florida National Scenic Trl, which follows the river corridor. Small-scale aviation is represented by private facilities including River Oak Airport and the Sunset Strip Airpark, serving the remote communities and agricultural operations of the interior.
