About this map

Apalachicola National Forest dominates this mid-century landscape where the border of Liberty and Franklin counties meets the winding course of the New River. The area is defined by a complex network of wetlands and tributaries, including Cat Branch, Nero Branch, and the sprawling Mud Swamp. While much of the terrain is characterized by these water-logged features and numerous Islands, small outposts of human activity appear along the primitive road networks. The namesake crossing at Owens Bridge and the nearby Tate Fire Tower serve as critical navigation points within the dense forest. Further east, family-named sites such as Morgan Place and the curious label of Twin Pole provide specific points of interest for genealogists tracing early mid-century homesteads and forest service outposts in the Florida Panhandle before modern development altered these wilder reaches.
