2012 Map of Chassahowitzka Bay

About this map

The Chassahowitzka River flows into a complex network of coastal wetlands and estuaries along the eastern edge of the Gulf of Mexico in this 2012 survey. The landscape is defined by an intricate puzzle of salt marshes and tidal channels, where features like North Blind Creek and South Blind Creek weave through clusters of small landmasses such as Seven Cabbage Island and Slate Island. While largely dominated by water, the map reveals the transition from the river's mouth to the open Chassahowitzka Bay. Inland navigation is suggested by the presence of Seven Cabbage Cut and Haulover Creek, indicating the historical reliance on small boat traffic through these shallow coastal waters. Only a single road, Zebrafinch Ave, touches the southeastern corner, emphasizing the area's isolation from the developed Florida interior.
