About this map

The Apalachicola River corridor dominates this 1945 War Department survey, showing a landscape defined by water and timber operations just as the post-war era began. Numerous landings, such as Willis Landing, Wright Landing, and Smith Creek Landing, dot the riverbanks and backwaters like Robinson Bay, highlighting the area's historical reliance on river transport for movement and commerce. The interior is a complex network of wetlands and tributaries including the Brothers River, Owl Creek, and the extensive Indian Swamp.
