2021 Map of Manlin Hammock

About this map

Manlin Hammock and the surrounding marshlands of Taylor County define this coastal landscape where the land meets the Gulf of Mexico. The area is characterized by a network of drainage features such as Steer Pen Slough, Smokhouse Cr, and the Fenholloway River. These waterways, including Thomas Mill Run, weave through low-lying terrain punctuated by hammocks and islands. Local navigation is marked by a series of named forest roads and grades, including Mossey Hammock Grade, Rattle Snake Grade, and Coney Island Grade, reflecting the region's history of timber access and coastal transit. Along the shore, the Florida Circumnavigational Paddling Trl follows the coastline near Smith McCulluh Creek, providing a contemporary perspective on this remote stretch of the Florida Big Bend.
