About this map

Long Island Marsh and the surrounding drainage network of the Florida interior are meticulously documented in this contemporary survey. Spanning the boundary of DeSoto and Charlotte counties, the landscape is defined by an intricate system of sloughs and basins, including Murtle Slough and Tiger Bay Slough. The area exhibits a distinct transition between open water bodies like Pine Island Lake and seasonal wetlands such as Sheep Pen Marsh.

Evidence of human land management is visible in the rectilinear grid of modern property lines and infrastructure, notably along Farabee Rd and Pine Island St. Unusual local toponyms, including Cartoon Dog Lake, Sour Orange Lake, and Lake Operation, reflect specific cultural or historical land-use identifiers within this largely aqueous environment. Waterways like Prairie Cr and Cow Slough weave through the terrain, illustrating the natural hydrological patterns that persist alongside 21st-century rural development.
