1954 Map of Bayport

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

The coastal interface of Hernando County's Gulf shore is defined by a dense labyrinth of sawgrass and mangrove, where the Weekiwachee River and Mud River meet the salt marshes. Small coastal settlements like Bayport and Cooglers Beach occupy the few stable points of land amidst the expansive Weekiwachee Swamp and Chassahowitzka Swamp. The map details a complex hydrological network of springs and tidal creeks, including Mud River Spring and the winding Jenkins Creek, which navigate through a series of islands such as Sawmill Island and Wagon Wheel Island.
