About this map

Deserters Hammock sits near the border of Lafayette and Dixie counties, anchoring a landscape defined by an extensive network of cypress ponds and named lakes. The area is characterized by low-lying wetlands and prairies, such as Tomlinson Prairie in the south and the concentrated cluster of water bodies including Cove Lake, Union Lake, and Matthis Lake to the east.

Evidence of local heritage is found at the Pleasant Grove Cem and near family-named landmarks like Governor Hill Lake and Bonnel Lake. The transition from the northern townships into the more water-heavy southern sections illustrates the challenging terrain that shaped early transportation routes, such as SE Deserters Hammock Rd and SE McCalls Chapel Rd, which navigate around the edges of these interior wetlands.
