2018 Map of Kennedy Creek

About this map

The Apalachicola National Forest dominates this section of Liberty and Gulf counties, where a dense network of sloughs and creeks feeds the major waterways of the Florida panhandle. The confluence of the Apalachicola River and the Chipola River creates a labyrinthine wetland environment characterized by distinctive features like Battle Bend, Spiders Cut, and Bucks Bight. These hydrologic patterns reflect the complex drainage of the Gulf Coastal Plain, where low-lying areas like Hathcock Bay and Big Cypress Swamp transition into the slow-moving waters of the River Styx and Everett Slough.
