2018 Map of Salem SW

About this map

Dense wetlands and hydrologic features dominate this Taylor County landscape, defined by specialized terminology such as the Mimm Sog and Coker Sog. The hydrologic character is further marked by the California Sinks and Dallis Waterhole, indicating a terrain where surface water and subterranean drainage frequently interact. A network of named grades and turnpikes provides the primary structure for movement through the lowlands, including the Salem Tower Rd and Tennille Crossroads Tpke. These routes, along with curiously named tracks like Pickle Hole Rd and Tide City Rd, trace the modern management of these coastal Florida pine lands. The map also captures the courses of California Cr and Bevins Cr as they thread through the surveyed sections of the region.
