1973 Map of Old Myakka

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

Old Myakka and the surrounding ranchlands of eastern Sarasota County appear as a landscape defined by slow-moving drainage and expansive wetlands in the early 1970s. The northern reaches of Myakka River State Park dominate the southeastern quadrant, where Lake Myakka and the Myakka River create a complex aquatic ecosystem. This area is characterized by numerous sloughs, including Gum Slough, Cow Pen Slough, and Vanderipe Slough, which illustrate the natural hydrology of the Florida interior before significant modern development.
