2018 Map of La Belle NW

About this map

Fisheating Creek and Rainey Slough dominate this section of Glades County, Florida, illustrating a landscape defined by slow-moving drainage systems and seasonal wetlands. The map detail reflects the transition of the South Florida interior, where natural watercourses like Chaparral Slough and Bee Br are intersected by a grid of rural infrastructure. Early 21st-century land management is visible through the network of county routes and access ways, including Co Rd 74 and Fire Tower Rd. The presence of Tasmania Rd and Farabee Rd suggests the historical naming of local corridors in an area largely dedicated to ranching or conservation. This documentation by the U.S. Geological Survey captures the hydrologic patterns and basic rural road network of the region prior to any significant modern intensification.
