1982 Map of Jackson River

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

The Apalachicola River dictates the landscape of this coastal Florida river system, winding through a complex network of sloughs and tidal creeks where the Intracoastal Waterway meets the St Marks River. This 1982 orthophotomap provides a rare hybrid view, combining traditional topographic contouring with aerial imagery to reveal the density of the Indian Swamp and the distinct vegetation patterns on Forbes Island. Cultural markers are sparse but significant, with Bloody Bluff Landing and the adjacent Bloody Bluff Cemetery marking historical human presence at the northern edge of the sheet. The southern reach shows the development of Bay City near a draw bridge, while the presence of an Old Railroad Grade cutting through the marshlands north of Box R Ranch hints at former industrial or timber transport routes that once navigated this water-dominated environment.
