About this map

Horseshoe Beach occupies a low-lying coastal stretch of Dixie County, where the tangled wetlands of the Florida Gulf Coast meet the open water. This 2018 survey documents a landscape dominated by tidal creeks and marshy islands, including Bird Island, Grassy Island, and Cotton Island. The settlement itself is centered around Main St and Co Rd 351, serving as a gateway to the intricate maritime environment of Horseshoe Cove and Tripod Creek.

Further inland, the terrain transitions into the dense Pumpkin Swamp, drained by a network of small waterways like Whackup Creek and Boggy Cr. The map details the local road network, such as SW 351 Hwy and various numbered avenues, which navigate the interface between the coastal hammocks and the vast Gulf of Mexico. Offshore landmarks like the Pepperfish Keys and Stuart Point define the rugged natural coastline before it reaches the southern community of Butler Island.
