About this map

The Gulf of Mexico dominates the southern half of this coastal landscape, where the intricate shoreline of the Florida Panhandle dissolves into a complex network of marshes, islands, and tidal creeks. The settlement of Spring Creek sits at the junction of Spring Creek Hwy and the waterfront, serving as a gateway to Stuart Cove and the surrounding coastal reaches. To the east, the coastal communities of Shell Point and Live Oak Island are defined by a series of residential streets and canals, illustrating a pattern of modern development integrated into the marine environment.

Coastal industries and community landmarks are scattered across the wetlands, from the Bottoms Fishery near Porter Island to the West Goose Creek Seine Yard on the eastern shore. Smaller, inland sites like the Smith Cem and Debra Nell Cem provide a sense of the area's local genealogy, while names like Stokley Landing and Skipper suggest historical landing points along the labyrinthine Skipper Creek and Oyster Bay.
