Surveying in Hendry County
Hendry County is one of Florida's most agricultural counties, dominated by sugar cane fields, citrus groves, and cattle ranches in the Everglades Agricultural Area. Surveys typically involve large-parcel boundary work spanning hundreds to thousands of acres.
Lake Okeechobee and the Caloosahatchee River define the county's northern and western boundaries respectively, creating flood zone challenges. The Herbert Hoover Dike system around Lake Okeechobee affects flood zone determinations for properties near the lake.
The Seminole Tribe of Florida's Big Cypress Reservation occupies a portion of the county, and tribal land boundaries require specialized survey coordination involving both state and federal land records.
