About this map

Payson Ranch Airport stands as a primary landmark in this rural landscape straddling the line between Charlotte and Glades counties. The terrain is defined by low-lying drainage patterns, most notably Rainey Slough in the northeastern corner and the winding course of Jacks Branch to the southwest. This area reflects a pattern of large-scale land management and agriculture, where the natural hydrology of Jacks Br is intersected by a grid of local transit routes and section lines. A network of rural roads, including Bermont Rd and Cr-74, provides the essential infrastructure for the scattered ranching and agricultural operations that characterize this part of Florida. The map documents the persistent rural character of the region, showing how few named settlements exist outside of infrastructure and natural water features.
