About this map

The Apalachicola River winds through a complex network of wetlands and swamps along the border of Calhoun and Liberty counties. This riverine landscape is defined by its intricate hydrology, where Everett Slough, Larkin Slough, and Finns Slough create a labyrinth of waterways feeding into the main channel. Elevated terrain features like Ricko Bluff and Red Hill provide contrast to the low-lying Devils Swamp and Juniper Swamp.

Small settlements such as Orange and Lewis are situated on the eastern side of the river, connected by rural routes like Co RD 379. Local heritage is preserved in several small burial grounds, including Eureka Cem, Humility Cem, and the William H Gunn Cem. The southern portion of the map is dominated by the protected acreage of the Apalachicola National Forest, where numerous forest roads provide access to points like Beazly Hammock.
