2018 Map of Waccasassa Bay

About this map

Gulf Hammock and the coastal wetlands of the Gulf of Mexico dominate this 2018 survey of Levy County. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of tidal creeks and sloughs, where the Waccasassa River and Wekiva River empty into the expansive Waccasassa Bay. The transition from mainland forest to maritime marsh is marked by timber-related infrastructure, such as the Main Line Rd and Fiber Factory Rd, which speak to the area's history of logging. Inland, naming conventions like McMillan Rd and Gibson Rd provide genealogical leads for local families. Closer to the shoreline, features like Staffords Island, Lone Cedar Island, and Salt Island suggest long-standing landmarks for navigation and fishing through the East Pass and West Pass.
