About this map

Telogia Creek and its complex network of tributaries, such as Ocklawaha Creek, define the landscape of northern Liberty County in this 1990 update. The settlement of Hosford serves as a primary hub in the south, while the small community of Lowry is situated further north. The map documents a territory dominated by the Robert Brent State Wildlife Management Area, showing the intricate web of forest roads and branches that crisscross the wetlands and pine flatwoods.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant landmarks including Kent Cem and several unnamed cemeteries. The presence of the Liberty County Correction Institute and a local sandpit reflect the institutional and industrial uses of the land during the late 20th century. Named water features like Bumpy Bay and Shanty Ford Branch provide specific geographic markers for those tracing family property or regional history.
