2018 Map of Sears

About this map

LaBelle and the planned expansion of Port LaBelle anchor the northern landscape of this Hendry County region, where the Caloosahatchee River carves a path through the low-lying Florida terrain. The map documents an area defined by agricultural industry and aviation, featuring both the La Belle Municipal Airport and the private Bob Paul Airport. Large-scale land use is evident in the presence of Bob Paul Groves and the citrus operations of Berry Citrus, supported by the artificial drainage of the Roberts Canal. A network of rural and industrial roads, such as Fort Denaud Rd and S Industrial Loop, crisscrosses the southern reaches near the small settlement of Sears, reflecting the region's transition from river-based commerce to modern citrus production and light industry.
