About this map

The salt marshes and coastal wetlands of the Florida Big Bend define this coastline where the Gulf of America meets Dixie County. This low-lying landscape is characterized by a complex network of tidal creeks and brackish wetlands, including Pumpkin Swamp and Sink Creek. Coastal landmarks such as Bowlegs Point and Hardy Point mark the uneven shore, while inland hammocks and islands like Tater Island rise slightly above the surrounding muck. A modern recreational artery, the Florida Circumnavigational Paddling Trail Trl, skirts the shoreline, providing a designated route through the shallow waters of Bull Cove and past Bird Island. The map records a sparsely populated interior crisscrossed by local roads like Co Rd 361, providing access to the remote hunting and fishing grounds of the Big Bend region.
