2018 Map of Telegraph Swamp NE

About this map

Rainey Slough meanders across the northeast corner of this 2018 landscape, marking a transition between the low-lying wetlands and the agricultural tracts of Charlotte County. The area is characterized by a high density of wetlands and seasonal watercourses, including the southern reaches of Jacks Branch. Human impact is primarily centered on ranching and private transport, evidenced by the Payson Ranch Airport situated near the county line. The road network is sparse, defined by rural arteries like Bermont Road and County Road 74, which follow the rigid grid lines of the Public Land Survey System. These roads serve isolated ranch sites and agricultural properties, providing a clear picture of the modern land-use patterns in this sparsely populated region of South Florida.
