Cross City and County Government
Cross City contains the courthouse, principal county offices, schools, local businesses, and regional services. Its inland location makes it the main service center for the broader rural county.
Comparing Cross City with the Gulf communities helps explain the distinction between the inland administrative center and the coastal fishing economy.
Suwannee River and the Town of Suwannee
The Suwannee River forms a major eastern and southern boundary before entering the Gulf of Mexico. The Suwannee community at the river mouth supports marinas, boating, fishing, and waterfront homes.
Water levels, tides, storms, and navigation conditions can change. Official charts and current local information are required for boating.
Steinhatchee River and Jena
The Steinhatchee River forms part of the northwestern boundary and reaches the Gulf near Jena and Steinhatchee. Fishing, boating, seafood, and seasonal tourism are important.
County information describes the river as beginning in Mallory Swamp and flowing approximately 35 miles to the Gulf.
Horseshoe Beach and the Gulf Coast
Horseshoe Beach is a small incorporated coastal community. Fishing, boating, scalloping, and waterfront life define the area, but hurricane and storm-surge exposure is significant.
Access and recovery conditions can change after storms, so current county guidance should be checked before travel.

The color version separates Dixie County from neighboring counties and helps show Cross City, the Gulf Coast, and the two major river systems.
