2018 Map of Jones Hammock

About this map

Jones Hammock sits along the southern border of this interior Florida landscape, where the boundary between Okeechobee County and St. Lucie County cuts through a region defined by agricultural development and drainage networks. The map shows a transition from natural hammocks like Dark Hammock to more structured land use, notably indicated by the Citrus Hedging Ranch Airport in the northwest. Movement through this area centers on Okeechobee Rd, which diagonally bisects the terrain. Water management is a primary feature of the landscape, seen in the winding paths of Nubbin Slough and Cypress Creek, which flow through a grid of section lines and rural roads. The concentration of groves and ranching infrastructure suggests the economic focus of the region during this era of modern land survey.
