2018 Map of Taylor Creek SW

About this map

Dixie Ranch Acres serves as a primary residential focal point in this portion of the Florida interior, characterized by a structured grid of residential courts and avenues. The landscape is dominated by the intricate hydrology of the Kissimmee drainage basin, where the western edge is defined by the Kissimmee River and the eastern reaches are fed by Taylor Cr. The terrain between these water bodies is a complex network of seasonal waterways and wetlands, including Chandler Slough, Sandfly Gully, and Popash Slough. Small settlements like Mildred and Platt Bluff indicate the localized human footprint within a landscape largely defined by marshes and slashes, such as Yates Marsh and Long Cypress Slash. This survey captures the region as it functions for modern land management, showing the intersection of traditional wetlands with expanding rural subdivisions and the county boundary between Highlands and Okeechobee counties.
