2012 Map of Port Mayaca

About this map

Lake Okeechobee defines the western edge of this landscape, where the massive freshwater body meets the engineered hydrology of south Florida. The Saint Lucie Canal cuts across the northern terrain, serving as a vital navigational and drainage artery connecting the lake to the Atlantic coast. At this junction lies Port Mayaca, a small settlement positioned where the canal intersects the lake's eastern shore. Further south along the levee and rail corridor is Sand Cut, a location historically linked to the region's transport and drainage infrastructure. The presence of the Sand Cut Siding and roads like Amons Rd highlights the intersection of agricultural land management and the logistics required to move goods through this water-dominated environment during the early 21st century.
