About this map

Devils Garden Slough defines the center of this southern Florida landscape, marking a transition between the seasonally wet marshlands and a developing network of rural residential tracts in the northern reaches. The northern edge of the map exhibits a structured grid of named thoroughfares including Hunting Club Ave and Appaloosa Ave, where street names like W Paso Fino Cir and S Shetland St suggest an equestrian-focused settlement pattern near the Hog Cypress area.

Moving south, the landscape becomes increasingly open and defined by drainage and access routes rather than dense residential development. Key arteries such as Hill Grade Rd and Dooley Grade Rd cut across the wetlands, illustrating the infrastructure required to manage and navigate the Florida interior. The map documents a specific moment in Hendry County history where the intentional geometry of rural subdivisions meets the natural flow of the local sloughs.
