About this map

Agricultural operations and private aviation facilities define this landscape in western Saint Lucie County. The grid-based drainage system, characterized by the Rim Ditch and its associated canals like N Rim Ditch Rd Canal Rd, illustrates the intensive water management required for the region's citrus groves and cattle ranching. The presence of Adams Ranch Airport, Dragonfly Airport, and Southeastern Airport suggests a reliance on aerial support for large-scale land management.

Transportation follows a strict rectilinear pattern, with Okeechobee Rd cutting through the southern portion while local routes like Minute Maid Rd and Co Rd 68 service the interior sections. This survey captures the structured organization of Florida's interior wetlands converted for productive use, where named corridors such as Sneed Rd and Schumann Rd provide access to isolated farmsteads and ranch headquarters.
