About this map

Gulf Hammock dominates the inland landscape of this Levy County coastline, where a dense network of logging and access roads like Main Line Rd and Fiber Factory Rd cut through the wetlands. This 2025 survey illustrates the complex transition from hardwood hammock to the tidal marshes of Waccasassa Bay. The riverine system is particularly intricate, with the Waccasassa River and Wekiva River feeding into a labyrinth of named channels including Chicken Slough, Watch Chain Slough, and Cabbage Slough.

Coastal geography is defined by numerous marsh islands and points, such as Staffords Island and Lone Cedar Island. The presence of the Florida Circumnavigational Paddling Trl along the Gulf of America suggests the modern recreational use of these traditional waterways. Names like Jerry Island Rd and SW Jackson Oak Rd hint at the local nomenclature tied to the higher ground scattered throughout the marsh.
