1945 Map of Bradwell Bay

USGS Topo · Published 1945

About this map

Apalachicola National Forest encompasses the vast majority of this mid-1940s landscape, illustrating a period of conserved wilderness in Wakulla County. The terrain is dominated by the dense wetlands of Bradwell Bay, a feature that defines the central geography of the quadrangle. Hydrology plays a critical role in the area's layout, with the Sopchoppy River winding through the northeastern corner and Monkey Creek draining the southern portions of the forest. The map reveals the intricate network of land lines and section markers within the swampy interior, providing a clear record of how this protected Florida landscape was surveyed and managed during the final years of the Second World War. This survey is particularly useful for understanding the natural drainage patterns and the specific boundaries of the national forest before later 20th-century developments.
