About this map

Suwannee sits at the terminus of the Suwannee River as it meets the Gulf of Mexico, a landscape defined by a labyrinth of salt marshes and tidal creeks. This coastal environment is marked by numerous islands such as Bradford Island, Hog Island, and the larger Bumblebee Island to the north. Navigation through this marshland is facilitated by a network of natural channels, including Wadley Pass and Alligator Pass, while the offshore waters are dominated by the extensive Suwannee Reef and Halfmoon Reef.

The settlement pattern reflects a reliance on the coastal waterways, with Monden Camp and the residential streets of Suwannee like Leon Dr and Demory Cir concentrated near the river's mouth. The presence of the Dixie Main Line Rd and State Road 349 Hwy indicates the primary terrestrial access points to this remote coastal community. The absence of contour lines highlights the extreme low-lying nature of this delta region, where land and water merge through features like S Double Barrel Cr and N Double Barrel Cr.
