About this map

The South Prong Alafia River and Little Manatee River define the drainage patterns of this rural landscape where Hillsborough, Polk, Manatee, and Hardee Counties meet. The terrain is characterized by extensive wetlands and watercourses, including Alderman Cr, which weave through a grid of section lines and remote access roads. Industrial activity is evident in the southeastern portion of the quadrangle near the Ft Green Mine and Four Corners Mine Rd, marking a transition from natural river basins to phosphate mining infrastructure.

Local transport is facilitated by a network of family-named and utility roads such as Albritton Rd, Chicora Rd, and Fort Lonesome Plant Rd. These routes, along with Bethlehem Rd, provide the primary framework for understanding the 21st-century settlement and land use of this interior Florida region, which remains largely dominated by agricultural and extractive industries rather than dense residential development.
