About this map

Steinhatchee and Stewart City anchor the mouth of the river along the Taylor-Dixie county line, where the coastal wetlands meet the Gulf of Mexico. This coastal landscape is defined by a intricate network of tidal creeks and landings, including Dallus Creek Landing and the sheltered waters of Jack Creek and Porpoise Creek. The transition from the marshy interior to the open sea is marked by several named islands and hazards, such as Little Grass Island, Pine Log Island, and the extensive Shell Reefs.

Away from the immediate shoreline, the land is etched with numerous utility and local access roads such as Tide Swamp Rd and Bear Island Rd, reflecting the area's history of logging and swamp management. Local landmarks like Hickory Ridge and Sugar Mountain Rd rise slightly above the surrounding boggy terrain, while the coast is punctuated by distinct geographical markers from Rock Point down to Hardy Point.
