2012 Map of Goodno

About this map

Ortona and the rural lands of Glades County are defined here by the engineered path of the Caloosahatchee River and the Caloosahatchee Canal. This 2012 survey illustrates the hydrological complexity of the region, where natural drainage features like Deadmans Br, Cypress Branch, and Turkey Br meet the heavy infrastructure of the Okeechobee waterway system. The map records the cultural footprint of the area, from the historic Ortona Cem near the riverbanks to the distinct elevated terrain of Coffee Mill Hammock. Residential development is concentrated in the southwest corner near Goodno, showing a grid of suburban streets such as Sherwood Cir and NE Raintree Blvd that contrasts sharply with the open hammocks and marshy tributaries to the east and north.
