1954 Map of Cooks Hammock

About this map

Cooks Hammock serves as the primary point of settlement in this landscape defined by the intricate hydrology of the Florida Big Bend. The area is characterized by a dense network of watercourses, including Tenmile Creek, Reedy Creek, and the Steinhatchee River, which flows across the southern portion of the quadrangle. Significant wetland features such as Coon Bay and Oaky Heads illustrate the low-lying nature of the terrain, where numerous ponds like Dowdy Pond and Ever Pond are scattered throughout the pine flats.
