About this map

The Peace River carves a winding path through this Florida landscape, serving as the central geographic feature between the settlements of Arcadia and Nocatee. The terrain is defined by a complex network of wetlands and small water bodies, including Bee Gum Lake, Johnson Lake, and Grass Lake, which intermingle with tributaries like Joshua Cr and Horse Creek. This hydrography suggests a region deeply tied to its riverine environment, where land use is dictated by the seasonal ebb and flow of the local water table.

Local history and genealogy are anchored by several notable landmarks, including Oak Hill Cemetery and Owens Cem. The presence of Mc Donald's Field and a dense grid of rural roads, such as NW Pine Level St and Sycamore St, reflects a transition from traditional agricultural lands to more structured rural development. These features provide a clear view of the area's twentieth-century evolution, preserved through the lens of late-era surveying.
