About this map

Turkey Roost Hammock and Crosby Hammock define the northern expanse of this Okeechobee County landscape, where the flatlands of south-central Florida are characterized by a network of drainage sloughs and island-like hammocks. The map reveals a transition between undeveloped wetlands and a developing grid of rural residential streets in the southwest corner. Water management is central to the area's geography, with Twelvemile Slough, Switchgrass Slough, and Fish Slough carving through the terrain. These natural drainage features alternate with named groves and stands of trees such as Fourteenmile Hammock and Shin Hammock. The dense concentration of numbered routes, like NW 300th St and NW 288th St, highlights the systematic parceling of land around Indian Town Hammock, illustrating the push of modern infrastructure into the Florida interior.
