About this map

The tri-county intersection of Manatee, Sarasota, and De Soto counties defines this mid-century Florida landscape. In a region dominated by hydrologic features, the land is marked by numerous Flowing Wells and the wandering paths of Bud Slough and Wildcat Slough. The rural character of the area is centered around the Pine Level Ch in the northeast, reflecting the small community nodes that persisted in this part of the state before modern development patterns took hold.
