2012 Map of Devils Garden Slough

About this map

Devils Garden Slough defines the hydrologic character of this Hendry County landscape, where wetlands and drainage patterns dictate the placement of human infrastructure. In the northern section, a distinct residential grid emerges, characterized by a dense network of streets with Spanish and equestrian-themed names such as S Hacienda St, S Utopia St, and Appaloosa Ave. This planned development is bounded by Perimeter Rd, transitioning into a more open, rural interior. Beyond the grid, the terrain is navigated by arterial routes like Hunting Club Ave and Dooley Rd, which bridge the gap between the structured settlement to the north and the expansive, watery reaches of the slough to the south. The map illustrates a moment of rural expansion where geometric property lines meet the winding natural boundaries of Florida's inland wetlands.
