About this map

Tates Hell Swamp dominates this coastal landscape along the St George Sound, where dense wetlands and an intricate network of tidal creeks define the terrain. The survey captures a region transitioning from the wild interiors of Cash Swamp to the shorelines of East Bayou and Cash Bayou. Settlement is concentrated at the small community of Green Point, situated near the water's edge.

Family and local history markers are present at the Porters Bar Cem, while various coastal landmarks such as High Bluff, Royal Bluff, and Alligator Pt provide navigational reference points. Evidence of former land use is visible in the Abandoned Grade that cuts through the northern timber and swamp. The map details a complex hydrologic system including High Bluff Creek, Bear Creek, and Sandbar Bayou, reflecting the coastal Florida environment before modern development significantly altered the shoreline.
