Surveying in Wakulla County
Wakulla County is home to Edward Ball Wakulla Springs State Park, featuring one of the world's deepest freshwater springs. The spring's protection zone creates environmental survey requirements for development within the spring shed, which covers much of the county.
The county's Gulf Coast features extensive salt marshes and tidal flats along Apalachee Bay, where traditional coastal boundary determinations are complicated by the extremely shallow and gradually sloping shoreline that can extend miles offshore.
Crawfordville, the only significant population center, serves as a bedroom community for Tallahassee. Residential development in the unincorporated county (Wakulla has no incorporated municipalities) drives most survey demand for subdivision and construction work.
