2024 Map of Manlin Hammock

About this map

Manlin Hammock characterizes this low-lying coastal reach of Taylor County, where a complex network of wetlands and tidal creeks meets the Gulf of Mexico. The landscape is defined by elevated landforms known as hammocks and islands, including Thomas Mill Hammock and Thomas Mill Island, which suggest historic high-ground activity in an otherwise marshy environment. Waterways like Regular Creek, Thomas Mill Run, and the Fenholloway River dominate the drainage pattern, eventually filtering into the gulf through various inlets. Local navigation is facilitated by long-established logging or access routes such as Rattlesnake Grade and Mossey Hammock Grade. For modern recreation, the Florida Circumnavigational Paddling Trl skirts the coastline, providing a water-based perspective of this largely undeveloped littoral zone.
