1945 Map of Kennedy Creek

About this map

The confluence of the Apalachicola River and the Chipola River anchor the southern reach of this 1940s landscape, where river landings and remote timber camps define the local geography. Significant portions of the Apalachicola National Forest dominate the central and eastern sections, interrupted by family-named landmarks like Hathcock Bay and Fields Bay. The presence of the Graveyard Pole Lookout suggests the critical importance of fire observation in this heavily wooded region during the mid-20th century.
