About this map

Gum Slough and the surrounding marshlands define this interior section of Florida, where the borders of Indian River, Okeechobee, and St. Lucie counties meet. This 2024 landscape is characterized by its significant conservation tracts and expansive wetland terrain, notably the Fort Drum Marsh Conservation Area Trl which winds through the central portion of the quadrangle. The map highlights a largely undeveloped ecosystem punctuated by Sick Island, providing a clear view of the natural water drainage patterns and hydrologic features that remain preserved in this region.

Agricultural and rural development appears at the periphery, particularly along the southern and eastern edges. Roads such as NE 304th St and NE 272nd St provide access to the lower quadrants, while the northern sections remain dedicated to marsh conservation. The grid of township and range lines, including t33s r36e and t33s r37e, provides a formal structure to this largely wild and water-dominated terrain.
