About this map

The Gulf of Mexico coastline in Taylor County is defined by a dense network of tidal creeks and marshes, where the Okefenokee Slough and Turkey Roost Slough drain through the low-lying terrain. This coastal landscape is dotted with seasonal and sport-fishing outposts, notably Spring Warrior Camp and Spring Warriors situated along Spring Warrior Cr. Further inland, the geography transitions to open areas like Eagle Prairie, while the coast is marked by points such as Eaglenest Point and Bonita Beach.

For genealogists and local historians, the map documents several distinct camps and small landings that have long served as recreational and residential anchors for the community. Labels for Yates Camp, Ezell Camp, Adams Beach, and Jabo Camp trace a pattern of coastal settlement south toward the mouth of Yates Cr. The road network, including Co RD 581 and Strickland Landing Blvd, provides context for how these remote waterfront properties were accessed during the early 21st century.
