About this map

Apalachicola National Forest dominates this section of the Florida Panhandle, where the landscape is defined by the intricate hydrology of the Mud Swamp-New River Wilderness. The New River meanders across the center of the sheet, joined by Cat Branch and Juniper Creek as it flows south toward the Liberty and Franklin County line. Evidence of human activity is sparse, concentrated near the river crossing at Owens Bridge.

Named points of interest like Nero, Twin Pole, and Morgan Place highlight the isolated nature of these settlements in the late 20th century. The terrain is characterized by the Juniper Creek Islands and the expansive Mud Swamp, illustrating the transition from managed forest to protected wilderness. A solitary Sandpit near the river indicates localized resource extraction in an otherwise largely undeveloped environment.
