2021 Map of Jernigans Pond

About this map

Gomez Creek and Cowbone Creek wind through the wetlands of this Florida interior, marking a landscape defined by water and ranching. The boundary between Okeechobee and St. Lucie counties bisects the terrain, illustrating the jurisdictional divide in this rural expanse. Local transport is represented by the straight corridors of Co Rd 68 and the winding path of Tripples Ranch Rd, which navigate around extensive wetland systems. The southern portion of the map is anchored by Jernigans Pond and the reaches of Cow Creek. This survey details the complex hydrography of the region, where numerous unnamed marsh areas and small water bodies surround the primary drainage systems, reflecting the natural drainage patterns of the Florida peninsula before extensive modern development altered the local water table.
