2012 Map of Custard Apple Hammock

About this map

Jessie Willies Seminole Village anchors this survey of a specialized landscape in southern Florida, representing a modern location for the Seminole community within the unique environment of the Everglades. The terrain is characterized primarily by the Custard Apple Hammock, a distinct hardwood swamp ecosystem that once dominated parts of the Lake Okeechobee region and northern Everglades. This 2012 documentation focuses on a largely undeveloped and conservation-oriented area where specific named settlements are rare, emphasizing the importance of these ecological and cultural landmarks in an otherwise open wetland expanse.
