2018 Map of Telegraph Swamp SE

About this map

Telegraph Swamp and Bullhead Strand dominate this section of the Florida interior, where the hydrology of the Caloosahatchee basin meets a grid of rural development. The landscape is defined by its drainage patterns, with Clay Gully in the northwest and Cypress Cr in the south feeding into the broader wetland systems. Near the confluence of several county boundaries, including the junction of Lee, Hendry, Glades, and Charlotte counties, the map reveals a transition from natural marshland to established groves and rural homesteads. The southern edge features the Fort Denaud Cem, a site of significant local heritage, situated near the modern South Point Airport. The road network, including Old Muse Rd and Rattlesnake Rd, suggests a community built around the unique challenges and resources of the swamp's margins during the early 21st century.
