2012 Map of Murdock NE

About this map

The low-lying cattle and timber lands of Sarasota County are defined here by a network of ranch roads and water management features. The prominent Big Slough Canal cuts across the northern landscape, designed to drain the wet prairies where Bud Slough and Wildcat Slough once meandered freely. This 2012 survey illustrates the transition from traditional land uses to more formal organization, while still retaining names that evoke the region’s agricultural roots.
