2021 Map of Rocky Lake Strand

About this map

Rocky Lake Strand characterizes this section of Hendry County, Florida, where the natural hydrology of the Everglades meets organized agricultural land management. The landscape is defined by its drainage and transport patterns, notably the Deer Fence Canal and the Devils Garden Strip, which reflect the region's mid-century shift toward large-scale ranching and citrus production. Transportation is primarily limited to secondary routes like Co Rd 833 and McDaniels Private Rd, which facilitate movement between rural homesteads and agricultural operations. Aviation history in this remote pocket is represented by the McDaniel Ranch Inc Airport, indicating the scale of the private landholdings in the area. The map illustrates the grid-based township and range system, including t46s r32e and t47s r33e, which govern the property boundaries in this sparsely populated interior.
