1974 Map of Doctors Hammock

USGS Topo · Published 1993

About this map

Doctors Hammock and Dozier Hammock rise as distinct clusters of hardwood vegetation within the wet, low-lying landscape of the Florida Everglades. This 1974 orthophotomap, produced from 1971 aerial photography, provides a rare visual of the transition from natural wetlands to managed land. Infrastructure such as the Landing Strip, Levee, and a Pipeline reflect early attempts to control and access this interior wilderness for agriculture or industry. The northern reaches of Gum Swamp dominate the drainage pattern, while a Spoil Bank suggests dredging and earthmoving activities. The boundary between Hendry and Collier counties is clearly marked, dividing these hammocks and providing a specific point of reference for local land ownership and historical territory during a period of significant hydrological modification in southern Florida.
