2012 Map of Nocatee

About this map

Peace River and Joshua Cr converge near the town of Nocatee, defining the hydrological character of this DeSoto County landscape. The map illustrates a rural area transition into a grid of residential and agricultural roads, particularly around the settlement of Tryon in the north. This region's history is anchored by long-standing landmarks such as the Owens Cem and Oak Hill Cemetery St, which offer points of interest for genealogists tracing local families. Transportation infrastructure is highlighted by the Chesterfield Smith Bridge crossing the river and the presence of Mc Donald's Field Airport, reflecting the local aviation and transit needs of the early 21st century. The intricate network of creeks, including Horse Cr and Buzzard Roost Br, suggests a landscape shaped by seasonal water flow and drainage patterns typical of the Florida interior.
