The settlement of Joshua and the nearby Parker Ranch anchor this study of the interior Florida landscape in DeSoto County. This portion of the Gulf Coastal Plain is defined by its complex drainage network, where slow-moving water channels like Tiger Bay Slough and Slippery Slough navigate between slightly elevated hammocks and islands. The presence of Turkey Hammock and Sour Orange Hammock suggests the characteristic vegetation of the region, where hardwood clusters rise above the surrounding wetlands.
