About this map

Big Bend Swamp and Lonesome Camp Swamp dominate this interior landscape of Osceola County, showing the complex drainage patterns of Central Florida in the mid-20th century. The land is defined by water and past industry, where Hog Pen Slough and Scrub Slough wind through the terrain. A notable modernization appears in purple photorevisions, as Floridas Turnpike Toll Road cuts a sharp diagonal across the drainage basins of Canoe Creek and Bull Creek. This transition period is further evidenced by the lingering traces of the area's timber or ranching past, marked by an Old Railroad Grade and Old RR Grade that parallel the eastern edge of the survey area. The presence of these grades alongside the newer toll road illustrates the shift from early rail-based resource extraction to modern automotive infrastructure.
