2021 Map of Okeechobee SW

About this map

The northwestern shores of Lake Okeechobee dominate this 2021 landscape, illustrating the critical water management systems and recreational corridors of central Florida. The vast open water of the lake meets the interior through the Indian Prairie Canal, a straight waterway that cuts through the wetlands and is crossed by the Indian Prairie Canal Bridge. This area marks a clear boundary between the sprawling Big Sawgrass Swamp and the managed hydrologic features designed to control flow into the lake. Running diagonally across the terrain is the Florida National Scenic Trl, providing a long-distance hiking route that follows the embankments and levees near the water's edge. This map documents the precise interface of the Glades and Okeechobee county line as it intersects these aquatic and transit corridors.
