About this map

The Myakka River winds through this section of Manatee County, defining a landscape dominated by extensive wetlands and water management systems. The small settlement of Myakka City serves as the primary hub, situated near the junction of Wauchula Rd and State Road 70. To the northwest, Parmalee marks another point of settlement in an area otherwise characterized by agricultural and dairy operations, such as Dankin Dairy.

Significant ecological features include the Tatum Sawgrass and Lettuce Lake, illustrating the complex hydrology of the Florida interior. Local history is anchored by the Sardis Cem and family-named landmarks like Cason Lake and Mobley Pond. The prevalence of named gullies and sloughs, including Tatum Gully and Mossy Island Slough, suggests a landscape shaped by seasonal water flow and drainage, essential for the rural holdings and hamlets like Clay-Hole Hammock found at the southern edge of the survey.
