2012 Map of Mahogany Hammock

About this map

Everglades National Park defines this landscape, where the terrestrial environment meets the labyrinthine waterways of south Florida. The dense tropical hardwood forest of Mahogany Hammock stands as a focal point, accessible via the terminus of a spur off Main Park Rd. This region represents a critical hydrological intersection where the North River drains toward the coast, and small interior water bodies like Pouratis Pond and Ninemile Pond dot the marshy interior. The presence of the Ingraham Hwy provides the primary transit corridor through this protected wilderness, documenting the infrastructure required to navigate the low-lying terrain. The map emphasizes the isolation and specialized ecology of these hammock islands, which serve as elevated refuges for diverse flora and fauna within the broader wetland system.
