1943 Map of Jackson River

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

Apalachicola River wetlands and the complex riverine systems of the Florida panhandle are captured in this 1943 survey, showing a landscape defined by water and marsh. The map details the winding courses of the Brothers River and Jackson River as they thread through dense swamps toward Lake Wimico. On the western edge, the Box R Ranch stands as a rare landmark of human habitation in a territory otherwise dominated by seasonal flooding and tidal influences. Small islands and cutoffs, such as St Marks Island and the East River Cut Off, illustrate the constant shifting of the delta. Researchers can trace numerous named sloughs and bayous, including Deadman Slough and Double Bayou, which provide insight into the historic navigation of these backcountry waterways before modern channelization altered much of the region's hydrology.
