2024 Map of Spring Creek

About this map

Saint Marks National Wildlife Refuge dominates this coastal stretch of Wakulla County, where the tangled wetlands and hammocks meet the Gulf of Mexico. The landscape is defined by the labyrinthine drainages of Spring Creek and Shepherd Spring Creek, which feed into the expansive Apalachee Bay. Small coastal communities like Live Oak Island and Wakulla Beach are connected by a network of local routes including Spring Creek Hwy and Wakulla Beach Rd, highlighting the region's reliance on the sea. Inland, family histories are preserved at Smith Cem and Debra Nell Cem, while the Florida National Scenic Trl traverses the northern woodlands. The map also delineates extensive marine trails, such as the Apalachee Bay Maritime Heritage Paddling Trail System Trl, which weave through islands like Piney Island and Alligator Island.
