About this map

White Hammock and Hilolo anchor this interior Florida landscape, where the flatlands of Okeechobee County meet an intricate system of sloughs and creeks. The drainage patterns are defined by the winding course of Fort Drum Creek to the north and the convergence of Cowbone Creek and Gomez Creek in the east. Notable for its aviation and agricultural heritage, the area includes the Gary Stark Airport situated along N Parrott Ave, providing a vital link for this rural corridor. This modern survey reflects a landscape divided by section lines and an extensive network of local roads such as Co Rd 68 and Rucks Rd, which weave around natural landmarks like Eagle Island and the wetlands of Joe Gore Slough. The persistence of these named hammocks and islands offers a window into the traditional cattle and citrus land use that has historically characterized this part of the Florida peninsula.
