2012 Map of Grossman Hammock

About this map

Grossman Hammock and the waters of Lake Chekika sit at the heart of this landscape, illustrating the unique intersection of natural Florida wetlands and agricultural development. The map reveals a highly structured grid of section lines and roads, such as SW 168th St and SW 184th St, that define the region's transition into an active aviation and farming hub. A remarkable concentration of private airstrips and specialized landing grounds, including Kendall Gliderport, Richards Field Airport, and the B and L Farms Airport, underscores the importance of aerial access to these outlying fields. To the south, the Mowry Canal Number C-103 represents the critical water management infrastructure necessary for sustaining the local economy, while the Homestead General Aviation Airport anchors the lower portion of the sheet.
