2015 Map of Edgeville

About this map

Edgeville and Sandy define the rural character of this landscape in eastern Manatee County, where the topography is shaped by an intricate network of waterways. The drainage pattern is dominated by Owen Cr and Owen Br in the north, while the southern reaches are marked by slow-moving features like Wildcat Slough and Bud Slough. This region, where the borders of Hardee and DeSoto counties meet, reveals a traditional Florida ranching or agricultural layout, evidenced by the large township and range blocks and a series of long-standing rural routes. Notable thoroughfares such as Sugar Bowl Rd and Clay Gully Rd cut through the terrain, connecting isolated homesteads. The prominence of Buzzard Roost Br in the east suggests a landscape defined by seasonal wetlands and small tributaries that have historically dictated the placement of settlements and roads in this part of the state.
