In the late 1800s, the portion of the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway running through the gorge was completed, and scattered most of the birds inhabiting Hawks Nest’s cliffs. In 1934, the Hawks Nest Dam and lake were completed. At the time, they were used to generate hydroelectricity for the growing manufacturing industry and for flood control.

Mar 8, 2024 ... The Hawkes Nest region is found on the southeast corner of Grand Turk. Largely undeveloped, an interesting salt salina and two secluded ... Sea salt at the Hawkes Nest Salina. FOUND ON THE RELATIVELY UNDEVELOPED southeast of Grand Turk, the Hawkes Nest area is home to Boaby Rock Point Beach and White Sands Beach, and is adjacent to the Grand Turk Cruise Center. The main feature of the region is Hawkes Nest Salina. This shallow pond was used for sea salt production in the past and today low stone dividing walls can still be seen in the salina. The site also offers large quantities of natural white crystal sea salt, far more than is typically found at the other abandoned salinas throughout the country. Although this site is not far from the Grand Turk Cruise Center, it’s not developed for tourism and is accessible only by unpaved roads. Although largely undeveloped today, the southeastern area of Grand Turk saw several sites of industry. In addition to the developed salinas, Hawkes Nest supported a plantation and a small colonial-era fortification and gun battery. At the beginning of the 1900s, the northeast region of this area was developed into Hawkes Nest Plantation. This site raised a fibrous agave known as sisal, which was used for rope production. This plantation and the adjacent Eve’s Family Plantation were the only serious agricultural attempts that took place on Grand Turk. Loose stone field walls can still be seen today. The sisal industry in the Turks and Caicos was short-lived. In addition to the Hawkes Nest Plantation, extensive plantings also took place on East Caicos and West Caicos. Due to emerging hemp fields in the Philippines and the introduction of synthetic fibers, the relatively small scale of sisal production in the Turks and Caicos simply couldn’t compete financially.
