Surveying in Okeechobee County
Okeechobee County wraps around the northern shore of Lake Okeechobee, Florida's largest freshwater lake. The lake's regulated water levels, controlled by the Army Corps of Engineers via the Herbert Hoover Dike, directly affect flood zone determinations for properties throughout the county.
The county is predominantly agricultural, with large cattle ranches and dairy farms that require boundary surveys spanning multiple sections. The flat terrain and limited benchmarks make GPS-based surveying essential for achieving accurate results.
The Kissimmee River restoration project, which is re-channelizing the previously straightened river, has altered property boundaries and floodplain extents along the county's western border, requiring updated surveys for affected landowners.
