One page with three charts of Lake Tohopekaliga, Cypress lake, and Lake Hatcheneha (Hatchineha) Florida. This antique chart was produced by the U.S. Engineer's Office Tampa, Florida December 14, 1901.

The three lakes are part of a larger chain of lakes and canals known as the Kissimmee Waterway. Boaters can travel the 56-mile long waterway connecting Lake Tohopekaliga to the north to Lake Okeechobee to the south, passing through Cypress Lake and Lake Hatchineha and along the Kissimmee River through a series of canals and man-made locks. Lakes in the Waterway’s upper basin are fairly shallow with average depths ranging from 6 to 13 feet. (https://www.sfwmd.gov/sites/default/files/documents/kisswaterway.pdf)
