2021 Map of Okeelanta

About this map

Okeelanta sits at the intersection of critical water management routes in the Florida Everglades, illustrating the highly engineered agricultural landscape of Palm Beach County. This 2021 survey shows a geometric network of drainage and transportation, defined by the long, diagonal reach of the North New River Canal and the horizontal Bolles Canal. These waterways were foundational to the region's development, turning wetlands into productive land. The map details a grid of specialized access routes like Willard Smith Rd and Okeelanta Rd, which serve the expansive fields. Near the eastern edge, the Duda Airstrip alongside Duda Rd highlights the scale of modern industrial farming operations, where aerial access is as vital as the canal system for managing the vast tracts of the Everglades Agricultural Area.
