2012 Map of Jackson River

About this map

The Apalachicola River and Jackson River converge within this intricate delta landscape, defining a region where water and marsh dominate. The settlement at Bay City anchors the southeastern corner, while isolated landmarks like Huckleberry Landing and the Box R Ranch suggest the sparse, river-dependent habitation characteristic of this part of Franklin County. The map details a labyrinthine network of sloughs, creeks, and islands, including Forbes Island and Saint Marks Island, which are separated by features like Hidden Johnson Cr and Humphreys Slough. The Intracoastal Waterway cuts a straight path through the natural curves of the river system, passing near Old Womans Bluff. Notable terrain features like The Pinhook and The Haulover indicate historical portage or navigation points within the sprawling wetlands of the Apalachicola Wildlife Area.
