About this map

Dixie Ranch Acres serves as a primary residential node within this landscape of drainage sloughs and prairie northeast of the Kissimmee River. The grid layout of this community is defined by numerous courts and streets, including NW 96th Ct and NW 80th Ct, showing a concentrated pocket of development amidst the broader expanse of Okeechobee County. To the west, the Florida National Scenic Trail winds near Platt Bluff at the county line, providing a recreational corridor through the wetlands.

Several named waterways, such as Turkey Slough, Chandler Hammock Slough, and Sandfly Gully, dictate the movement of water across the terrain toward the south. The settlement of Mildred is noted further south along the main thoroughfare, positioned near the headwaters of Popash Slough. The distribution of these sloughs and gullys indicates the seasonal nature of the local hydrology, where small changes in elevation, like the rise at Platt Bluff, significantly influence the landscape character.
