About this map

Fort Basinger serves as the focal point for this interior Florida landscape, where the Kissimmee River dictates the pattern of settlement and transportation. The river's winding course is marked by landmarks such as Pearce Bridge and the Doughtry Cutoff, alongside recreational and residential outposts like Kissimmee River Camp and Morgan Landing. To the west, the terrain opens into wide expanses of citrus and ranch land, evidenced by several dairy-related thoroughfares and the broad waters of Pitman Bay.

Industry and local access are further defined by the River Acres Airport and a network of rural roads that connect isolated hammocks, such as Oak Hammock, to the riverfront. This 2012 survey illustrates the modern configuration of the river valley, showing how residential pockets like Kissimmee Trce and River Run have integrated into the older ranching and agricultural framework of Highlands County.
