  • The DeSoto Plain is a major geologic feature of Florida formed during the Miocene epoch and named for DeSoto County, Florida, United States. The DeSoto is an old prairie or grassland at elevations of 70 to 100 feet bounded by the lower elevation Okeechobee Plain on the east. It covers the counties of DeSoto, Manatee, Hardee, Highlands Glades, and Charlotte. The DeSoto plain was the ancient feature of Florida as the peninsula formed over time.
