2012 Map of Cow Bone Island

About this map

Cow Bone Island sits within a managed landscape defined by water control and agricultural road networks in this modern survey of Collier County. The prominent W Feeder Canal cuts a straight path across the southern half of the quadrangle, illustrating the hydrological engineering essential to this region. The northern and eastern sections show a pattern of rural development and land use, marked by specific family and regional names such as McDaniels Rnch and Billy Fraser Rd. This grid of access roads, including Co Hwy 833 and Bia Hwy 1299, connects isolated parcels of land, reflecting the ongoing intersection of private ranching and tribal lands in the Florida interior. The transition from open terrain to structured agricultural plots is clearly visible through the road layouts and drainage features.
