About this map

The Kissimmee River meanders across the border of Highlands and Okeechobee Counties, anchoring the small settlement of Fort Basinger. This 2015 snapshot of the Florida interior reveals a landscape defined by large agricultural tracts and specialized dairy operations like those along Butler Dairy Rd. The area maintains its character as a junction of local transit and wilderness, where the Florida National Scenic Trail winds alongside the riverbanks, providing a primitive path through the wetlands and palmetto scrub.

Notable landmarks such as the Pearce Bridge and the River Acres Airport reflect the mix of historical river crossings and modern private aviation that serves these rural homesteads. The surveyor's grid is punctuated by named natural features like Pitman Bay, while a network of rural routes, including Fort Bassinger Trl and Kissimmee Island Dr, connects isolated ranch lands to the primary artery of CR-721.
