2015 Map of Fort Lonesome

About this map

Fort Lonesome serves as a central landmark in this 2015 study of the rural corridor where Hillsborough and Manatee Counties meet. The landscape is defined by the headwaters and tributaries of several major regional drainage systems, including the Little Manatee River and the S Prong Alafia River. Large-scale water management and industrial footprints are evident near Hurrah Lake and the various branches like Howard Prairie Br, reflecting the area's history of resource extraction and phosphate mining, signaled by the proximity of Fort Lonesome Plant Rd.
