About this map

The Fenholloway River and its associated wetlands dominate this coastal Florida landscape, where the land meets the Gulf of Mexico. The area is characterized by a complex network of hammocks and islands, most notably Manlin Hammock, Thomas Mill Hammock, and Thomas Mill Island. These raised ground features provided crucial dry terrain for settlement and travel in an otherwise marshy environment drained by Thomas Mill Run and Steer Pen Slough.

Evidence of the region's industrial heritage is found in the extensive system of historic grades and tramways used for timber extraction. Long-established routes such as the Old Logging Tram, the Old Main Line, and Rattlesnake Grade crisscross the terrain, showing how the cypress and pine forests were once accessed. Family and local names like Harry Davis Rd and Smith McCullah Cr anchor the landscape to its historical residents and local geography.
