2024 Map of Okeechobee SE

About this map

Lake Okeechobee dominates the expanse of this southeastern Florida landscape, where the shallow waters and marshes define the regional geography. The map focuses on the interior basin of the lake, specifically highlighting the North Lake Shoal, a significant underwater formation that influences the local hydrography. This 2024 survey documents the convergence of three county lines within the water itself, marking the aquatic boundaries where Glades Co Okeechobee Co and Okeechobee Co Martin Co meet. The absence of terrestrial roads or settlements underscores the sheer scale of the lake's open water and protected wetland environments during this modern era, providing a precise record of the shoreline and depth contours as they existed at the time of the U.S. Geological Survey.
