2015 Map of Jones Hammock

About this map

Jones Hammock and Dark Hammock anchor this rural landscape along the boundary between St. Lucie and Okeechobee counties. The area is defined by a grid of agricultural and local roads, such as NE 120th St and NE 101st St, which support the region's citrus industry. Evidence of this specialized economy is clear at the Citrus Hedging Ranch Airport, a private airfield serving the surrounding groves. The natural drainage of the wetlands is traced by the winding path of Nubbin Slough, which cuts across the southern portion of the map. Major transit corridors including Sr-70, Okeechobee Rd, and Bluefield Rd provide the primary connections through this low-lying interior terrain, where the Public Land Survey System sections remain the dominant organizing feature of the land.
