About this map

Bull Creek and a complex network of wetlands dominate this Osceola County landscape as it appeared in the early 1950s. The terrain is defined by its seasonal water features, ranging from named bays like Saplin Bay and Johnson Bay to the numerous sloughs that cut through the flatwoods, including Rattlesnake Slough and Sawgrass Slough. Human presence is sparse, marked primarily by the 5T Ranch and the Site of Illahaw, a former settlement location along the creek. An Old Railroad Grade runs through the eastern and southern portions of the quadrangle, serving as a reminder of the area’s earlier logging or industrial connectivity. This survey, compiled in part by the U.S. Corps of Engineers, details a transition from open wetlands to organized ranching, capturing specific landmarks like Oakey Pond and the clustered Bee Ponds before more intensive modern development.
