1944 Map of Forbes Island

USGS Topo · Published 1960

About this map

Indian Swamp dominates the western interior of this riverine landscape, where the Apalachicola River snakes along the eastern boundary. The map captures a wartime era defined by the logging industry, evidenced by the Logging RR that penetrates the swamp to reach timber camps like Lister Camp and Kenny Camp. This network of rails and primitive roads, including White City Road, reflects the intensive harvesting of the surrounding Apalachicola National Forest during the mid-1940s.
