2015 Map of Cooks Hammock

About this map

The Steinhatchee River defines the southern portion of this landscape near the boundary between Taylor and Lafayette counties. The small settlement of Cooks Hammock serves as the primary hub of activity, situated at the junction of S SR 51 and several local timber and ranch roads. The presence of the Cooks Hammock Cem and the nearby R O Ranch Airport suggests a rural community balancing its historical roots with modern land use. The terrain is a network of watercourses and wetlands, including Kettle Cr, Owl Cr, and Reedy Cr, illustrating the low-lying hydrology typical of north-central Florida. Local transportation routes like Chicken Penn Rd and Jones Grade Rd crisscross the area, providing access to the dense woodlands and agricultural tracts that dominate the quadrangle.
