About this map

Fishermans Rest sits at the edge of a tide-influenced landscape along the Gulf of Mexico, where the Taylor County coastline transitions from salt marsh to the open waters of the Gulf of Mexico. The area is defined by its network of coastal waterways, including Crooked Creek, Big Beer Creek, and Clay Creek, which snake through the marshy terrain toward the sea.

An Old Railroad Grade running north-south provides evidence of former industrial activity or land management in this remote stretch of Florida. Offshore, Big Grass Island and the prominent Crooked Point and Long Grass Point mark the interface between the mainland and the shallow coastal shelf. The survey also records the location of a Platform in the open water, highlighting the intersection of the natural coast with modern maritime infrastructure.
