About this map

The salt marshes and tidal inlets of the Gulf of Mexico dominate this coastline south of the Steinhatchee River. The landscape is defined by a series of low-lying coastal features including Hardy Point, Bowlegs Point, and Halfway Point, which mark the interface between the open water and the interior swamp. Small outcroppings and hammocks such as Bird Island and Tater Island rise slightly above the wetlands, providing distinct navigational landmarks along the shore.

Further inland, a network of narrow waterways like Rocky Creek, Sink Creek, and Buck Cr drain toward the gulf, while SW 361 Hwy provides the primary north-south passage through the eastern edge of the quadrangle. This area in Dixie County remains largely undeveloped, characterized by section lines and a grid of local service roads such as SW 451st Ave that navigate the marshy terrain between Bull Cove and the interior timberlands.
