2015 Map of Orange

About this map

Apalachicola River oxbows and riverfront points like Queen City Point and Dicks Point define this swampy reach of the Panhandle where Liberty Co meets Calhoun Co. The landscape is a complex network of waterways, featuring the Florida River and numerous backwaters including Bills Arm, Larkin Slough, and Everett Slough. Small settlements such as Orange and Lewis sit on higher ground away from the floodplains, connected by rural routes like County Road 379. Local history is anchored by the Orange Cem and Humility Cem, which serve the scattered communities near the northern edge of the Apalachicola National Forest. This survey captures the hydrological character of the region, where named landmarks like Ricko Bluff and Red Hill rise above the wetlands and sloughs that dominate the western portion of the quadrangle.
