About this map

James Burnett marks the southeastern corner of this Florida landscape, where the boundary between Wakulla County and Jefferson County runs through a complex network of wetlands and karst features. This environment is defined by its numerous limestone depressions, including Bear Bay Sink, Indian Camp Sink, and Big Rock Sink, which indicate the underlying hydrological connection to the Floridan aquifer. The terrain transitions from the elevated Sand Hills to the low-lying reaches of Smoky Hammock, providing a detailed look at the drainage patterns of the Pinhook River and Henderson Slough.

The presence of the Florida National Scenic Trail through the southern sections highlights the area's significance for long-distance recreation within the Big Bend region. Local movement is facilitated by a grid of named roads such as Gamble Rd, Fanlew Rd, and Hocha Rd. Distinctive water features like Jake Hole and the Pinhook Sinks further characterize this subtropical wilderness east of the St. Marks river system.
