1945 Map of Beverly

USGS Topo · Published 1960

About this map

Tates Hell Swamp dominates this coastal landscape in the mid-1940s, revealing a region defined by its labyrinthine waterways and the industrial footprint of timber harvesting. The Apalachicola Northern rail line cuts through the western portion, passing the small settlement of Beverly, while an Old Logging RR traces further north, indicating the historical reach of the local logging industry. The map captures the intricate drainage system where Deep Creek and Doyle Creek feed toward the East Bay, bordered by maritime landmarks like the East Bay Fire Tower and Bethlehem Ch. This survey is particularly useful for identifying family-named sites and vanished working camps, such as Hays Place and Creels Side Camp, which offer insight into the remote residential and commercial patterns of Franklin County before modern development altered the swamp's interior.
