About this map

The Suwannee River carves a winding path toward the Gulf of Mexico, defining the low-lying coastal geography of the border between Dixie and Levy Counties. This maritime landscape is a complex network of tidal creeks and brackish channels, including East Pass, Gopher River, and Sandfly Cr. The interior is dominated by the dense California Swamp, while the river's approach to the gulf is marked by named landmarks like U-Lee Bend and several coastal landmasses such as Hog Island and Turkey Island.

Human activity is represented by a sparse network of logging and local access roads, such as Munden Camp Rd and SW Co Rd 347, which skirt the edges of these vast wetlands. Offshore, Lone Cabbage Reef sits at the threshold of the open sea, illustrating the transition from the river-fed marshes to the coastal shelf. The map captures the quiet, hydrologically intricate character of the Florida Gulf Coast before it meets the sea.
