2021 Map of Wetappo Creek

About this map

Wetappo Creek meanders through the lowlands of Gulf County, Florida, defining a landscape of hydrologic complexity and seasonal wetlands. This coastal interior region is characterized by extensive drainage systems like Johnny Lawrence Ditch and natural watercourses including Little Sandy Creek and Wilburn Branch. The terrain is marked by numerous island features such as Jersey Islands, Martin Islands, and Brush Islands, which rise from the surrounding marshy ground. The southern edge of the sheet shows the engineered path of the Intracoastal Waterway, illustrating the intersection of natural Florida wetlands with critical maritime infrastructure. A network of rural roads, such as Jarrott Daniels Rd and Ditch Stand Rd, provides access to these remote tracts, where the forest gives way to the broad expanse of Williams Bay and the dense thickets of Bill Swamp.
