2021 Map of Saint Marks

About this map

The confluence of the Saint Marks River and the Wakulla River anchors this coastal landscape, where the settlement of St. Marks stands at the head of the Apalachee Bay drainage. To the south, the wetland reaches of Port Leon and Shell Island mark the transition toward the gulf, while the inland forest is dotted with unique hydrological features like Patterson Sink, Blue Sink, and Newport Spring. The transportation history of the region is traced by the Tallahassee Saint Marks Historic Railroad State Trl, following the path of one of Florida's earliest rail corridors. To the north, the small communities of Wakulla and Newport are connected by local routes like Bloxham Cutoff Rd, providing a detailed look at the rural cemetery locations at Mays Cem and Magnolia Cem alongside the hammocks and bayous of the coastal plain.
