1953 Map of Jones Hammock

About this map

Dark Hammock and the broad wetlands of the Florida interior dominate this mid-century topographic survey, where the boundary between Okeechobee and St. Lucie counties cuts through a landscape of palmetto scrub and cypress strands. The area shows the characteristic drainage patterns of the region, defined by the winding course of Cypress Creek and the southern flow of Nubbin Slough. Human activity is sparse, marked primarily by a Landing Field in the north and various private tracks crossing the marshy terrain.
