About this map

Keaton Beach and Dekle Beach anchor this coastal survey, where the Gulf of Mexico meets a landscape of tidal marshes and low-lying wetlands. The shoreline is defined by numerous promontories including Live Oak Point, Sponge Point, and Piney Point, while the interior is a complex network of wetlands such as Stanley Sog and Minom Sog. This 2015 study reveals a modern transition in land use, showing residential expansion along streets like Sandpiper Rd and Cedar Island Rd alongside established coastal landmarks like the Sylvanmir Farms Airport.

Drainage systems like Fish Creek, Salt Creek, and Sweetwater Creek weave through the marshy terrain toward Boggy Bay and Hagens Cove. Further inland, the map captures the rural character of Howell Place and the surrounding pine flatwoods, marked by numerous small ponds like Shaw Pond and Rock Pond. The presence of Dark Island and Oyster Cr highlights the intricate, water-dependent geography of this Taylor County coastline.
