1955 Map of Manlin Hammock

About this map

Manlin Hammock and the surrounding coastal marshlands of Taylor County define this mid-century landscape where the Gulf of Mexico meets a complex network of creeks and sloughs. This territory, largely encompassed by the Big Bend State Wildlife Management Area, is characterized by its hydrologic features, including the Fenholloway River and Regular Creek. The presence of an Old Railroad Grade cutting through the hammocks indicates a history of timber extraction or transit through these wet lowlands.
