Title: Florida State Road 990
Passage: State Road 990 (SR 990) is the 2.97 mi central section of the approximately 11.6 mi Killian Drive, also known as Killian Parkway, Southwest 104th Street and Southwest 112th Street and historically South Kendall Drive, located in southern Miami-Dade County, Florida.

Recognising the role the road played in southern Miami-Dade County's history and development, the section of State Road 990 between the Expressway and US 1 was designated the Killian Drive State Historic Highway by the Florida Senate in 1995.
Title: Geography and ecology of the Everglades
Passage: The geography and ecology of the Everglades involve the complex elements affecting the natural environment throughout the southern region of the U.S. state of Florida.  Before drainage, the Everglades were an interwoven mesh of marshes and prairies covering 4000 sqmi .  The Everglades is simultaneously a vast watershed that has historically extended from Lake Okeechobee 100 mi south to Florida Bay (around one-third of the southern Florida peninsula), and many interconnected ecosystems within a geographic boundary.  It is such a unique meeting of water, land, and climate that the use of either singular or plural to refer to the Everglades is appropriate.  When Marjory Stoneman Douglas wrote her definitive description of the region in 1947, she used the metaphor "River of Grass" to explain the blending of water and plant life.
Title: Lake Okeechobee
Passage: Lake Okeechobee ( ), also known as Florida's Inland Sea, is the largest freshwater lake in the state of Florida.  It is the eighth largest natural freshwater lake in the United States and the second largest natural freshwater lake (the largest being Lake Michigan) contained entirely within the contiguous 48 states.  Okeechobee covers 730 sqmi , approximately half the size of the state of Rhode Island, and is exceptionally shallow for a lake of its size, with an average depth of only 9 ft .  The lake is divided between Glades, Okeechobee, Martin, Palm Beach, and Hendry counties.  All five counties meet at one point near the center of the lake.

The trail began as the Okeechobee Segment of the Florida National Scenic Trail (FNST), a 1,000 mile trail that runs from Miami to Pensacola.  The USDA and National Forest Service dedicated the Okeechobee Segment as part of the FNST in 1993.  Most of the trail is atop the 35-feet tall Herbert Hoover Dike.  The trail crosses five counties, Hendry, Glades, Okeechobee, Martin and Palm Beach.  Many stretches run along state and county highways, including Florida State Road 78.

It runs from State Road 50 in Ocoee, to State Road 15, the frontage roads of State Road 408, in Orlando.  After the western terminus of SR 526, State Road 50, it becomes SR 439.  Between US 17 and the western terminus, it is known as County Road 526, and locally known as Old Winter Garden Road.  It crosses State Road 408 twice.

Title: Florida State Road 78
Passage: State Road 78 (SR 78) is the Florida Department of Transportation designation of the highway that historically extended from Pine Island Center on the Gulf Coast of Florida to the northern tip of Lake Okeechobee.  In the 1980s, two segments of the route were removed from state maintenance to county maintenance (and the road designations were changed to reflect the action).  More recently, SR 78 signs were removed from the four-mile-long stretch of US 27/SR 25 that was once a concurrency.  All three sections are signed east–west, even though the easternmost section is actually a north–south route.
