About this map

Tates Hell Swamp dominates the northern reaches of this coastal landscape, showing the intricate hydrological network of the Florida Panhandle before modern development fully altered the wetlands. Small settlements like High Bluff and Green Point are situated at the fringes of this expansive wilderness, where the freshwater systems of High Bluff Creek and Sandbank Creek meet the brackish waters of the coast.

The map reveals a transition from dense interior swamp to the tidal complexities of St George Sound. A series of natural landmarks, including Marsh Point, Campbell Point, and Alligator Point, define the irregular shoreline. The geography is characterized by numerous bayous such as Cash Bayou and East Bayou, while human navigation is marked by a Seawall and scattered trails or a Jeep Trail, indicating the difficulty of travel through Cash Swamp and its surrounding marshes.
