About this map

The Apalachicola River snakes through this low-lying landscape, where the seasonal rise and fall of the water defines the local geography. Significant riparian features like Ricko Bluff and the oxbows of Porter Reach highlight the dynamic nature of the river system. To the east, the settlement of Orange and the smaller cluster at Lewis represent the scattered upland habitation, while the riverbank itself is dotted with historical points of access including Gunn Landing and Big Gully Landing.

Fishermen and local residents frequent Larkin Fish Camp, situated near the confluence of Gregory Mill Cr and the Florida River. This area is characterized by complex hydrography, including Larkin Slough, Everett Slough, and numerous isolated lakes such as Greenback Lake. For genealogists, the map preserves the locations of Humility Cem and Orange Cem, reflecting the early communities that settled these hammocks and bluffs.
