2015 Map of Waccasassa Bay

About this map

Waccasassa Bay and the mouth of the Waccasassa River define this coastal stretch of Levy County, where a complex network of tidal creeks and marshes meets the Gulf of Mexico. The landscape is dominated by intricate waterways such as Beetree Slough, Cow Creek, and Sheephead Creek, which wind through low-lying terrain punctuated by landforms like Staffords Island and Salt Island. This environment is shaped by the transition from fresh water to the salt marshes of the Gulf, visible in the convergence of the East Pass and West Pass.
