Southern Florida can be considered anywhere within 15 miles of I-95 (extended southward from its terminus in Coral Gables) in Dade, Broward, or Palm Beach Counties.

But that\\\'s from the coasts. As a Civil Engineering student, I kind of have a bias towards the superhighways.]]

Old Florida is comprised of 2 regions: The Southern portion is that white hole between the interior 15-mile lines of I-75 (Naples & North), I-4, I-95/US 1, and the Intracoastal Waterway in Florida Bay. The Northern portion is \'\'all\'\' land North of the \

The Northern portion is \\\'\\\'all\\\'\\\' land North of the \\\"northern\\\" 15-mile I-4 line plus all of Volusia County.

As for the Panhandle boundaries: speaking from a physical standpoint, I could claim that the boundary between the Panhandle and the Peninsula is the Suwanee River (made famous in song). Reason being that both it and the St. Mary\\\'s River (boundary between Jacksonville and Georgia) are both sourced from the Okefenokee swamp, creating a continuous water boundary around the southeastern 2/3rds of the state.[[hottip:*:Which is why you see the Agricultural Stations lined up there instead of along the State Line west of Lake City]]. Culturally, however, the Time Zone line may be more permanent, along with the fact that most atlases usually include Tallahassee on the main map, but leave the Apalachicola and parts west to [[MyFriendsAndZoidberg a insert]].

In the meantime, I\\\'m going to try to separate the Citrus and Sugar fields (which I call \\\"Displaced Swamp Peoples\\\") from South(East)ern Florida, as that\\\'s synonymous with [[OnlyInMiami Miami]]. [[MyFriendsAndZoidberg And the Keys]].

As a guy who\'s been a resident of Florida for about 60% of my life (Got my Bachelor\'s Degree in Mobile, AL, but still had my permanent residence listed in the Panhandle, so continuous ever since 10 days from my [[ThirteenIsUnlucky 13th]] [[DangerousSixteenthBirthday Birthday]]), I have a general rule of thumb for the boundaries for the 3 types of Florida:
