2021 Map of Sopchoppy

About this map

The Sopchoppy River meanders toward the Gulf of Mexico, anchoring a landscape where the wetlands of the Saint Marks National Wildlife Refuge and the Apalachicola National Forest converge. This 2021 survey details the intricate network of tidal creeks and lakes, including Otter Lake, Lake Ellen, and Levy Bay, that define the coastal character of Wakulla County. The settlement at Sopchoppy is central to the area, while the town of Panacea sits perched between Dickerson Bay and the wooded interior. Local genealogy is well-supported by the inclusion of Grimes Cem and Simmons Cem, alongside several named islands and points like Chesley Island and Simmons Point. Significant conservation land, including the Ochlockonee River State Park, dominates the southern portion of the map, illustrating the preservation of the river corridor as it approaches Apalachee Bay.
