About this map

The coastal marshlands and intricate tidal creeks of Wakulla County dominate this survey, centered on the Saint Marks National Wildlife Refuge. Small residential communities like Spring Creek and Live Oak Island are pockets of settlement within a landscape defined by water and maritime access. To the east, the map shows Wakulla Beach and the mouth of Shepherd Spring Creek, while the western edge reaches the small outpost of Skipper.

The presence of family burial grounds like Smith Cem and Debra Nell Cem near the Spring Creek Hwy indicates the long-standing local ties to this coastal area. Extensive trail networks, including the Florida National Scenic Trl and the Apalachee Bay Maritime Heritage Paddling Trail System Trl, highlight the area's transition toward conservation and recreational use. The shoreline is a complex of points and islands, from Shell Point to Fiddlers Point, separating Oyster Bay from the open waters of the Gulf of Mexico.
