About this map

Rosewood and the coastal marshes of Levy County define this landscape along the eastern edge of the Gulf of Mexico. The area is characterized by an intricate network of tidal creeks and wetlands, including the branching waters of Jacks Creek and Porpoise Creek. Near the northern border, Shiloh Cem and Cedars Airfield provide specific landmarks for family history and aviation research.

The coastline is dominated by the shallow transitions into Waccasassa Bay, where maritime features like Corrigan Reef, Big Stake, and the Waccasassa Reefs emerge from the shoals. This 2015 data illustrates how the low-lying terrain is intersected by numerous drainage channels such as Wilder Creek and Hall Creek, reflecting the environmental continuity of the Florida Gulf coast. The transition from the inland township grid to the irregular shoreline at Kelly Creek Point showcases the geography that has shaped local life and industry for generations.
