About this map

Wetappo Creek winds through a landscape defined by expansive wetlands and low-lying islands in this Gulf County survey. The modern Intracoastal Waterway cuts through the southern portion of the area, providing a stark industrial contrast to the labyrinthine natural drainage of Bill Swamp and Cerser Swamp. The terrain is punctuated by small rises such as the Jersey Islands, Martin Islands, and Brush Islands, which offered slightly higher ground amid the surrounding marshes and creek branches like Wilburn Br.

A network of local roads including Jarrott Daniels Rd, Buddy Flore Rd, and Fitzpatrick Rd provides access to private holdings and timberlands. The inclusion of the Johnny Lawrence Ditch and Ditch Stand Rd highlights the long-standing efforts to manage water levels in these coastal lowlands. This detailed look at the 2018 topography shows a region where the traditional geography of Williams Bay and Horseshoe Cr meets contemporary infrastructure.
