2024 Map of Okeechobee SW

About this map

Lake Okeechobee dominates the southern landscape of this Florida region, where the vast open waters meet the marshy shoreline of Glades and Okeechobee counties. The settlement at Buckhead Ridge serves as a focal point for the community, situated where the northern shore transitions into the expansive wetlands of Big Sawgrass Swamp. The map details a sophisticated network of water management and recreation, specifically the Indian Prairie Canal and the Florida National Scenic Trl, which skirts the edge of the swamp and the lake. This 2024 data highlights the modern relationship between residential development and the preserved natural environment of the Florida interior, showing how infrastructure has been integrated into the reclaimed lands north of the great lake.
