2015 Map of Fort Green

About this map

Fort Green and Fort Green Springs anchor this portion of Hardee County, where the landscape is defined by extensive industrial excavation and the winding tributaries of the Peace River watershed. Large-scale mining operations, such as Mine Vw, have significantly altered the terrain, creating vast engineered ponds that contrast with the natural flow of Payne Cr and Gum Swamp Br. To the south, the settlement of Vandolah sits near the eastern edge of the map, adjacent to the Wauchula Municipal Airport. The area’s rural heritage is preserved in family-named routes and the Olive Branch Cem near the northern border. A network of creeks, including Troublesome Cr, Brushy Cr, and Lettis Cr, thread through the lowlands, illustrating the complex drainage patterns of this Florida interior before it meets the coastal plains.
