A false-color satellite image map of Lake Okeechobee, Florida, from 1973, produced using NASA LANDSAT-1 data. The large circular lake appears as a dark blue body in the lower left portion of the image, surrounded by reddish-pink agricultural and developed areas. The Atlantic coast is visible along the right side. The map includes coordinate grids, a location diagram, and explanatory text in the margins.

This satellite image map was created by the U.S. Geological Survey in cooperation with NASA using LANDSAT-1 data recorded on November 29, 1973. Published in 1977 at a scale of 1:500,000, this experimental printing uses false-color processing where vegetation appears in shades of red, water bodies in dark blue to black, and clouds as white patches. The visualization clearly shows Florida's largest freshwater lake and surrounding agricultural landscape, highlighting the distinct boundary between land and water in south-central Florida.
