About this map

Carrabelle and the surrounding coastal lowlands are defined by a complex network of blackwater streams and wetlands in this 2015 study. The northern reaches are dominated by the New River, which winds through the landscape toward the confluence of the Crooked River and the Thompson Cutoff. A distinct cluster of small island features characterizes the namesake Pickett Bay, while the eastern portion of the map covers the western edge of Saint James Island.

Rural infrastructure is marked by long-standing timber and access routes such as Gully Branch Rd and Number Three Rd. Notable local landmarks include Saw Bluff and the crossing at Pine Log Bridge near the small settlement of Pine Log. The hydrology of the area is particularly detailed, showing the interplay between various seasonal drainages like Sunday Rollaway Cr and the larger swamp systems of Cypress Slough.
