About this map

Cooks Hammock serves as the central community in this rural Florida landscape, characterized by an intricate network of wetlands, sloughs, and headwaters. The Steinhatchee River cuts through the southeastern corner, fed by local tributaries like Twomile Branch and Patterson Branch. For genealogists and local historians, the Cooks Hammock Cem is a vital landmark, situated near the intersection of Co Rd 351 and SW Carber Rd.

The terrain is defined by its distinct water bodies and ecological features, including the Oaky Heads and numerous named depressions such as Wolf Pond, Dowdy Pond, and the curiously named Goon Bay. Human activity is marked by a mix of infrastructure ranging from the R O Ranch Airport to long-established forest routes like Chicken Pen Rd and Jones Grade Rd, illustrating the intersection of modern aviation and traditional timber or ranching corridors.
