About this map

Spring Creek sits at the heart of this coastal survey, where the freshwater output of Florida’s karstic landscape meets the tidal reaches of Apalachee Bay. The map documents a complex aquatic transition zone dominated by St Marks National Wildlife Refuge, featuring a vast network of salt marshes, mud flats, and tidal creeks like Walker Creek and Red Fish Creek. Coastal settlement is focused on distinct points and landings, including the established fishing and recreational areas at Shell Point and Live Oak Island.

A network of islands such as Piney Island and Mashes Island provides natural protection for the shallow waters of Oyster Bay and Dickerson Bay. Notable maritime landmarks include the Seine Yard near West Goose Creek and the specialized infrastructure at Bottoms Fishery. This detailed coastal charting captures the intricate shoreline of Wakulla County, from the hidden reach of Stuart Cove to the open expanses of Goose Creek Bay.
