2018 Map of Pickett Bay

About this map

Carrabelle sits at the southern edge of this landscape, positioned where the Crooked River and several major sloughs meet the coastal lowlands of Franklin County. The area is defined by an intricate network of moving water and wetlands, including Pickett Bay and the distinctive Thousand Yard Bay. The interior is crisscrossed by numerous forest and logging roads, such as Gully Branch Rd, Number Three Rd, and Pine Log Rd, which hint at the region's timber industry history. On Saint James Island, the map details the winding course of Sunday Rollway Cr and Mill Pond Br, illustrating the transition from upland pine flatwoods to the tidal marshes. Landforms like Saw Bluff and Waldon Lake provide specific topographic markers in an otherwise level coastal plain dominated by drainage features like Alligator Cr and the New River.
