1972 Map of Black Hammock

Transport through this seasonally flooded environment is represented by a dedicated Airboat Trail, reflecting the specialized mobility required in the River of Grass. To the east, the terrain transitions toward Grossman Ridge, while the artificial boundary of Levee 67 cuts through the northern section, marking the early efforts of water management and conservation. This survey serves as a vital record of the park's natural topography before late-twentieth-century ecological restoration efforts began to alter the flow of the slough.
