2021 Map of Nutall Rise

About this map

The Aucilla River and Wacissa River define this wet, low-lying landscape along the border of Jefferson and Taylor counties. This environment is characterized by significant hydrological features including the Slave Canal and several notable hammocks such as Bushy Hammock and Powell Hammock. Small settlements like Nutall Rise, Cabbage Grove, and Scanlon provide points of human occupancy amidst the swampy terrain. The map details an intricate network of recreation and history, shown through the Florida National Scenic Trail and the Aucilla Wildlife Management Area Trail. The convergence of these waterways, including Sulfur Creek and Page Creek, highlights the complex drainage patterns of the Big Bend region, where the limestone-heavy geology creates the distinct sinks and rises for which the area is known.
