2015 Map of Port Mayaca

About this map

Lake Okeechobee dominates the western edge of this landscape where the Saint Lucie Canal begins its eastward journey toward the Atlantic. This hydraulic nexus at Port Mayaca represents a critical junction in South Florida’s water management history, showing the engineered transition from the great lake to the canal system. The map details a highly organized agricultural grid south of the waterway, bisected by the L-65 Canal and several section boundaries including t40s r37e and t41s r37e. Along the eastern shore of the lake, the Florida National Scenic Trail follows the levee, providing a recreational corridor through this working landscape. Further south along the shore, the small settlement of Sand Cut sits near the junction of coastal highways and rural tracks like Ammons Rd, marking the thin strip of habitable land between the vast sugar fields and the water's edge.
