2015 Map of Horseshoe Beach

About this map

Horseshoe Beach occupies a singular position on the Dixie Co coastline, serving as a gateway to the tidal creeks and marsh islands of the Big Bend region. The settlement is centered around Main St and E 1st Ave, where land gives way to a complex network of coastal features including Horseshoe Point and the sheltered waters of Horseshoe Cove. This 2015 survey illustrates the delicate balance of this fishing community, surrounded by a labyrinth of waterways such as Tripod Creek and Boggy Cr. To the south and west, the map details numerous named landmasses like Grassy Island, Butler Island, and the Pepperfish-Keys. These islands and points, including Stuart Point and Drum Point, delineate the transition from the Florida mainland into the open Gulf of Mexico, providing critical geographic reference for local navigation and coastal history.
