About this map

San Pedro Bay dominates this portion of Taylor County, Florida, defining a landscape of wetlands and low-lying terrain. The map details an extensive network of forestry and access roads that cut through the bay, including Westberry Grade and the distinctive St Marys Canal Grade. These infrastructure patterns, alongside names like Oil Well Rd and Gas Line Rd, point to a history of resource extraction and land management within the swampy interior.

Waterways like the Fenholloway River and the curiously named Fire Pan Sag highlight the drainage patterns of the region. Local nomenclature provides a sense of the area's character, with road labels such as Honey Bee Rd, Gator Rd, and Yellow Jacket Rd reflecting the native fauna and the folk-history of this rural Florida territory. This map is a record of the industrial and natural geography where human intervention meets the wetlands.
