Date Issued:: 1946
Summary:: This 1946 report discusses an investigation and survey of Kreamer, Ritta, and Torry Islands, in the southern portion of Lake Okeechobee, Florida. It focuses on the causes and extent of flooding, and its prevention. The report recommends that the existing project for Caloosahatchee and Lake Okeechobee Drainage Areas be modified to provide for construction of a levee system around each island.
