About this map

The Peace River dominates this southwestern Florida landscape, winding through a complex network of wetlands and islands just north of the De Soto Co Charlotte Co line. The settlement of Ft Ogden serves as the primary hub, situated at the junction of the Atlantic Coast Line and the Seaboard Air Line railroads. This rail-dependent corridor is punctuated by smaller localities such as Hull to the north and Southfort to the south.

Social and civic life is anchored by landmarks like Ft Winder Ch, Hull Cem, and Ft Ogden Cem. The surrounding terrain is defined by water features like Hancock Lake, Lettuce Lake, and the sprawling Jim Long Lake, which highlight the area's intricate drainage patterns. Further south, toward Whidden Bay, the influence of the river becomes more pronounced with the inclusion of named landforms like Liverpool Island and Mary Point.
