About this map

Okefenokee Slough and the surrounding marshlands of Taylor County define this coastal stretch of the Gulf of Mexico. The landscape is a network of tidal creeks and drainage patterns, where named waterways like Spring Warrior Cr and Yates Creek move through a low-lying terrain of prairies and sloughs. Eagle Prairie and Turkey Roost Slough dominate the northern interior, suggesting a wilderness character shaped by seasonal water movement and native flora.

Coastal access is concentrated at Bonita Beach and near Stricklands Landing Dr, where small road networks reach the shoreline. The inclusion of local names on secondary routes, such as Carl Sadler Ln and Richard Sadler Ln, provides specific points of interest for genealogists tracing family ties to this remote Florida coast. The inland areas are marked by infrastructure like the Grantham Grade, indicating the historical importance of timber or drainage management in the Big Bend region.
