2018 Map of Broad Branch

About this map

Broad Branch and Kinard serve as the primary human touchpoints in this low-lying region of Calhoun County, Florida. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of wetlands and drainage systems, including Buzzard Bay Swamp, Clewis Swamp, and Old Camp Four Swamp. The hydrography here is exceptionally dense, with numerous tributaries such as Cypress Cr, Little Cypress Cr, and Straw Bay Br feeding into larger systems like Broad Br. The presence of features like Mill Point and Watering Pond suggests localized historical land use within a predominantly swampy environment. A grid of named rural routes, including Youngstown Scotts Ferry Rd, Chester Pickron Rd, and several legacy Civilian Conservation Corps roads like CCC Road No 16, provides access through the wet terrain of Straw Bay Islands and the expansive Wetappo Swamp.
