1945 Map of McIntyre

About this map

Camp Gordon Johnson dominates the coastline along the Gulf of Mexico in this wartime-era survey of Franklin and Wakulla counties. This military installation, located near Lanark, was a critical training site during the early 1940s, and its presence is reflected in the extensive military reservation boundaries shown. Inland, the landscape is defined by the winding paths of the Ochlockonee River and Crooked River, which meet amidst the dense woodlands of the Apalachicola National Forest. Small settlements like McIntyre and Rock Landing are situated near these waterways, while transportation across the rivers is facilitated by the Pinelog Ferry. The Seaboard Air Line RR provides a land-based connection through the marshy terrain, passing near points like Big Blackjack Landing. On the eastern edge, the St Marks Nat Wildlife Refuge borders the river, overseen by the St James Fire Tower.
