1944 Map of Forbes Island

USGS Topo · Published 1960

About this map

The Apalachicola River carves a complex course through this landscape, creating the prominent Forbes Island and smaller landforms like Bloody Bluff Island. In the mid-1940s, this region was defined by its riparian infrastructure and timber industry, with several landings such as Wright Landing, Hickory Landing, and Vanhorn Landing serving as vital points of access for river transport. To the west, the White City Logging RR penetrates the Indian Swamp, connecting remote timber outposts like Lister Camp and Kenny Camp to the regional economic network. The map reveals the intricate water system of the Apalachicola National Forest, including the Brothers River and Brickyard Creek, illustrating how the shifting river channels dictated the boundaries between Liberty, Gulf, and Franklin counties.
