About this map

The Apalachicola River and the winding Brothers River dominate this 1940s landscape where Liberty, Gulf, and Franklin counties meet. This region is defined by its water-based economy and timber history, evident in the network of river landings such as Hickory Landing, Brickyard Landing, and Smith Creek Landing. A Logging RR cuts through the western interior, connecting isolated sites like Lister Camp and Kenny Camp to the outside world. To the east, the Apalachicola National Forest covers much of the terrain, which is broken by numerous waterways like Owl Creek and Brickyard Cut Off. The map documents a time when river transport and rail-based logging were the primary drivers of settlement, long before modern development transformed Florida's panhandle.
