1982 Map of Forbes Island

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

The Apalachicola River defines the landscape of this riverine corridor, where it serves as a boundary between Gulf, Liberty, and Franklin counties. This 1982 orthophotomap provides a rare look at the dense riparian environment of Forbes Island and the Apalachicola National Forest before modern developments. The map highlights the area's river-dependent history through numerous water access points such as Brickyard Landing, Smith Creek Landing, and Von Horn Landing. Cultural and historical markers are concentrated along the eastern banks, most notably the Fort Gadsden State Historic Site and the Hickory Landing Campground. To the west, the small settlement of Howard Creek and more isolated locations like Lister Camp and Kenny Camp represent the area's tucked-away fishing and timber camps. Local infrastructure is reflected by Willis Landing Road and a scattering of sandpits throughout the Indian Swamp region.
