2012 Map of Venus SW

About this map

Fisheating Cr winds through this cattle-ranching landscape south of Old Venus, defining a region shaped by seasonal water and sprawling homesteads. The land is segmented by an extensive network of named lanes and grades, such as Lott Grade and Night Slue Grade, which navigate the low-lying wet areas typical of this part of Highlands County. The map shows a transition from structured cattle operations to more remote drainage features like Joe Slough and John Henry Slough. Modern utility meets rural isolation at the Last Chance Ranch Airport, a private landing strip situated among the pastures and sloughs. This 2012 survey illustrates how family-named roads like Bohanon Rd and Stokes Rd have formalized the historic paths across the Florida scrub and prairie.
