About this map

The border of Hardee and DeSoto Counties runs through this modern landscape defined by intensive agricultural grids and marshy wetlands. This area of central Florida is drained by the waters of Joshua Creek and Fish Branch, which meander through a series of sectioned plots and drainage ditches. The map reveals a highly structured road system likely serving the region's citrus groves or cattle ranching, including long straightaways like Ten Mile Grade Rd and Four Mile Grade. Named local corridors such as Ed Douglas Rd and Scarborough Rd suggest family ties to the land's history. Settlement is sparse, with small clusters of structures found primarily along NE Mercer St and near the southern edge on Washington St, reflecting the rural, industrial nature of the inland Florida peninsula in the early twenty-first century.
