2012 Map of Crows Nest Hammock

About this map

Crows Nest Hammock and Dinner Island define the interior of this Hendry County landscape, characterized by the distinct vegetation patterns and elevated ground typical of South Florida’s inland hammocks. The map shows a transition from structured agricultural or water management plots to more open terrain, intersected by essential transport routes like Co Hwy 846 and the aptly named Crow's Nest Rd. In the southeastern corner, Rocky Lake sits as a solitary water body within a grid of drainage features. The geometric layout of the surrounding land suggests a high degree of modification for drainage and farming, common for this era in the Everglades region. Researchers can observe the balance between remaining natural features and the expanding footprint of land development.
