About this map

The Peace River dictates the landscape of this southern Florida region, meandering southward through a network of small tributaries and drainages. The settlement of Gardner sits near the Hardee and DeSoto county line, serving as a focal point for the northern portion of the map, while the community of Brownville occupies a more central position. A sophisticated grid of rural roads and lanes, including Fish Branch Rd and NW Brownsville Rd, connects these small hubs to the more isolated residential clusters like Cubitis in the south.

Evidence of local heritage is found at the Coker Cem, located north of the river's main channel. The terrain is defined by a series of creeks and gullies, such as Charlie Cr, Sand Gully, and Mare Br, which feed into the primary river valley. These drainage patterns suggest a landscape primarily shaped by citrus groves, ranching, and the natural wetlands characteristic of the Florida interior during this era.
