1954 Map of Steinhatchee

About this map

Steinhatchee serves as the primary coastal hub on this 1954 topographic survey, situated at the mouth of the Steinhatchee River where it meets Deadman Bay. This coastal landscape is dominated by tidal marshes and winding waterways such as Jack Creek and Salt Creek, illustrating the complex drainage of the Florida Big Bend. The survey captures the region during a period of managed conservation, with the Big Bend Wildlife Management Area and Jena Wildlife Management Area covering substantial portions of the shoreline and inland woods.
