About this map

Bay City anchors the southeastern corner of this deltaic landscape where the Apalachicola River and the Intracoastal Waterway converge. The terrain is defined by a dense labyrinth of water bodies, including the Jackson River and the winding Saint Marks River, which isolate distinctive landforms like Forbes Island and Saint Marks Island. The intersection of riverine and coastal environments is evident in the transition from sloughs and creeks to more substantial channels.

A network of local roads such as Bay City Rd and Sauls Creek Rd provide access through the swampy lowlands, leading to features like Old Womans Bluff and The Pinhook. The abundance of named cut-offs and sloughs, including Four Tree Cut Off and Little Brothers Slough, highlights the dynamic nature of the waterway system, critical for both local navigation and the broader regional water transport network.
