About this map

The salt marshes and tidal creeks of the Florida Panhandle coastline define this coastal landscape where the Jefferson and Taylor county line meets the Gulf of America. The area is characterized by a complex network of waterways, including the Aucilla River and the Econfina River, which weave through the low-lying terrain before emptying into Apalachee Bay. Much of the eastern portion of the map is dedicated to the Econfina River State Park, showing the preserved natural state of the river-fed wetlands.

Remote coastal features such as Snipe Island, Possum Gap Island, and Cabell Point provide landmarks for coastal navigation and local history. Transport into this wilderness is limited to unpaved access ways like Snipe Island Grade and Mossy Hammock Grade, while the Florida Circumnavigational Paddling Trl offers a water-based perspective of the shoreline. The transition from terrestrial forest to coastal marsh is evident through labels like Smokehouse Creek and Double Sloughs, reflecting the brackish environment of the Big Bend region.
