About this map

The Braden River winds through a landscape increasingly defined by expanding residential street networks and managed water bodies in this 2012 study of the area east of Bradenton. The small settlement of Lorraine sits at a junction near Wolf Slough, surrounded by a grid of numbered roads like 59th Ave E and 44th Ave E. This era shows the transition of traditional agricultural land into suburban developments, though older landmarks remain, such as the Braden River Cem and the Bradenton Fire Tower.

Water management is central to the area's layout, with the Cypress Strand, Williams Cr, and Rattlesnake Slough weaving between housing clusters. For those looking for historical points of interest, Jiggs Landing stands on the shores of Ward Lake, providing a specific reference point for local recreation and river access. The map captures the complex drainage of the Florida landscape through features like Cooper Creek and Mill Cr as they interface with modern infrastructure.
