2015 Map of Childs

About this map

Hicoria and Childs anchor this Highlands County interior, where a network of localized settlements sits amidst the sandy ridges and wetlands characteristic of the Florida peninsula. The landscape is defined by its water systems, including the eastern reach of Lake Placid and the winding course of Hickory Branch. The central corridor is dominated by the Archbold biological research area and its associated road network, such as Archbold Rd, providing a detailed look at land use in this specific ecological zone. Transport patterns follow historical routes, with Old SR-8 serving as a primary north-south artery connecting smaller locales like Bairs Den and Bear Hollow. The map also details the parceling of the land into townships, including t38s r30e, illustrating the intersection of residential development and preserved natural spaces such as Parker Island.
