1982 Map of McIntyre

About this map

The Ochlockonee River and Crooked River wind through the dense swamp and forest of the Florida Panhandle on this 1982 orthophotomap. The landscape is dominated by the Apalachicola National Forest, where the junction of Franklin and Wakulla counties is marked by the settlement of McIntyre. The map provides a unique visual record of the coastline along the Gulf of Mexico, including the sand bars of Lanark Reef and the prominent Pelican Lump. Significant infrastructure for research and safety is visible, including the Florida State Univ Marine Laboratory and the St James Fire Tower. Historical river access points like Rock Landing, Lewis Bluff, and Blackjack Landing highlight the importance of these waterways for interior transport. The transition from the developed coastal strip at Lanark Village to the uninhabited wetlands illustrates the distinct environmental zones of this Gulf Coast region.
