2024 Map of Brighton

About this map

The settlement of Brighton sits at the intersection of water management and rural transit, marked by the extensive lattice of the Canal C-41A and the Indian Prairie Canal. This interior Florida landscape spans the boundary of Highlands and Glades Counties, where the terrain is defined by low-lying wetlands like the Long Cypress Slash. The area is notably shaped by aviation and local transit history, featuring the Lykes Brighton Airport and a network of named tracks such as Bullhead Grade and Mose Grade Rd. Traditional land naming conventions are preserved through routes like Billy Bowlegs Rd and Buster Twin Rd, reflecting the heritage of the Brighton Seminole Indian Reservation lands. The township and range lines of t37s r32e and t38s r33e provide a framework for the agricultural and drainage infrastructure that dominates the region.
