About this map

The settlement of Wetappo sits at the heart of this coastal lowland landscape, characterized by the intricate drainage of Tenmile Swamp. The hydrology of the region is defined by the W Fork Tenmile Swamp and E Fork Tenmile Swamp, which feed into a network of creeks and branches like Stone Mill Cr and Wetappo Cr. These watercourses have historically shaped movement and settlement in this part of Florida, as evidenced by the corridor of local roads and family-named landmarks.

Local history is anchored by sites like Wetappo Cem and Kemp Cem, which reflect the community's ancestral roots. Navigation and land management are visible through features such as the Wetappo Fire Tower and roads with historical designations, including CCC RD and CCC Road No 20. The map also captures smaller features like Willis Pond and Sandy Br, providing a detailed record of the rural landscape in the early twenty-first century.
