2015 Map of Myakka City NW

About this map

The N Fork Manatee River and E Fork Manatee River converge in this corner of Manatee County, forming the headwaters of the main Manatee River. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of drainage and wetlands, including Johnson Prairie and the meandering Sand Slough. To the southeast, the Myakka River cuts across the terrain, joined by local tributaries like Taylor Cr and Long Cr. This 2015 survey shows a region largely preserved in its natural hydrologic state, with expansive parcels still organized by the Public Land Survey System. Human activity is evidenced by a grid of rural roads such as Wauchula Rd and SR-64 E, which connect isolated ranch lands and agricultural interests between the river basins. Significant water bodies like Clearwater Lake and Mud Lake anchor the low-lying geography of the interior.
