About this map

Camp Gordon Johnson dominates the coastline of Franklin County in this mid-1940s survey, illustrating the significant military presence along the Gulf of Mexico during the war era. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Ochlockonee River and the Crooked River, which dictate the placement of early settlements and navigation points. Small riverfront sites such as McIntyre, Rock Landing, and Big Blackjack Landing suggest a reliance on waterborne transit and local timber resources.

Further inland, the Seaboard Air Line railroad cuts through the dense vegetation of the Apalachicola National Forest, providing a vital overland connection. The presence of the St James Fire Tower and the Pinelog Ferry crossing points to the region's rural character and the logistical challenges of the Panhandle terrain. This map captures a specific moment when coastal defense and industrial forestry intersected in the Florida wetlands.
