About this map

Rainey Slough and Jacks Branch define the drainage of this interior Florida landscape, where the flatlands of the Gulf Coastal Plain meet the agricultural and ranching interior. Located along the border between Charlotte and Glades counties, the area is characterized by large-scale land management and specialized transport. The presence of Payson Ranch Airport and Lykes Silver Lake Airport points to the reliance on private aviation for managing expansive ranching operations in this part of the state. A grid of local roads, including Bermont Rd and Co Rd 74, provides the primary access through the townships, which are largely dominated by wetlands and open pastures. This survey provides a clear view of the rural infrastructure as it stood in the early twenty-first century, emphasizing the intersection of natural watercourses and human-engineered transport routes.
