2015 Map of Salem SW

About this map

California Sinks and the low-lying wetlands of Taylor County define this coastal plain landscape. The terrain is characterized by a network of creeks like California Cr and Bevins Cr, alongside specialized features such as Minom Sog and Dallis Waterhole. This 2015 survey reveals a heavy reliance on a dense network of local tracks and hunting routes, including Salem Tower Rd and Jackson Hunting Camp Rd, which provide access through the dense hammocks and pine stands. Evidence of the region's agricultural and transit history is preserved in names like the Tennille Tpke and Tennille Crossroads Tpke. Named land elevations rising from the swamp, such as Cabbage Island and Smokehouse Island, suggest historic high-ground usage in an otherwise saturated environment.
