2012 Map of Port Mayaca OE W

About this map

Lake Okeechobee dominates the entirety of this 2012 chart, which focuses exclusively on the open waters of Florida's largest freshwater lake. Unlike most topographic sheets that document the transition from land to water, this particular quadrangle is composed almost entirely of the lake's interior surface, providing a pure hydrographic perspective. The absence of shoreline, roads, or man-made structures highlights the scale of the inland sea. For researchers, this document establishes a 21st-century baseline for the lake's open water extents within Palm Beach County, just west of the Port Mayaca shoreline and the Hoover Dike systems found on adjacent sheets.
