2021 Map of Arcadia

About this map

The DeSoto County Courthouse serves as the focal point of Arcadia, anchoring a structured grid of residential streets and civic infrastructure in this southern Florida landscape. The town is flanked by water systems, including the winding path of Joshua Creek to the south and Lake Katherine to the west. While the urban center is well-defined, the outlying areas of Southeast Arcadia and the surrounding township lines reveal a transition into more open terrain, punctuated by aviation activity at the Arcadia Municipal Airport. Genealogists and local researchers will find value in the documentation of local burial grounds such as Oak Ridge Cem and Joshua Creek Cem, which sit alongside drainage features like McBride Br and Hawthorne Creek that have long influenced the region's development and land use patterns.
