2015 Map of Mallory Swamp SW

About this map

Eightmile Creek and Wolf Creek define the low-lying drainage patterns of this corner of the Big Bend region, where the boundary between Lafayette and Dixie counties meets. The landscape is characterized by its namesake swampy terrain, punctuated by slight rises in elevation such as Knife Hammock and Buck Island. This 2015 survey reveals an extensive grid of modern timber and agricultural access roads, including Cr-357, NW 849th Loop, and NW 953rd Ave, which crisscross the township sections. These paths trace the ongoing management of the Florida pine flatwoods and cypress strands, providing a precise record of rural infrastructure in a sparsely populated but active forestry corridor. The map effectively captures the intersection of public boundaries and private land use within the Florida coastal plain.
