About this map

Steinhatchee sits at the transition between the freshwater systems of the Big Bend and the open waters of the Gulf of Mexico. This 2018 survey details the coastal geography where the Steinhatchee River marks the jurisdictional line between Taylor and Dixie counties. The landscape is defined by vast maritime wetlands and low-lying features such as Hickory Ridge and Little Grass Island, illustrating the complex hydrology of the Florida coast.

Navigation and local land use are guided by features like Shell Reefs in the bay and a network of rural roads, including Beach Rd and Stephensville Rd. To the southeast, the terrain shifts into the dense Pine Log Swamp, drained by Pine Log Creek. This map captures the modern footprint of a historic fishing and timber region, preserving the names of local landmarks like Rock Point and Deadman Bay that have defined the area's identity for generations.
