2015 Map of Duette NE

About this map

Industrial land use and natural hydrology meet at the intersection of four Florida counties: Hillsborough, Manatee, Polk, and Hardee. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the S Prong Alafia River in the north and the headwaters of the Little Manatee River to the south. Large-scale earthworks and reservoirs dominate the central and southern sections of the map, particularly near Four Corners Mine Rd, reflecting the area's history with phosphate mining operations. A grid of rural roads, including Earl Reynolds Rd and Taylor Gill Rd, provides access to these remote tracts. Tributaries like Alderman Cr, Boggy Br, and Lake Br thread through the terrain, illustrating the complex drainage patterns of this central Florida region during the mid-2010s.
