About this map

The Apalachicola River winds through a landscape defined by sharp bluffs and complex river landings in the early 1980s. This region, centered on Torreya State Park, illustrates a transition from the elevated terrain of Hickory Hill and Logan Hill to the fertile riverbanks. Historically significant river access points like Aspalaga Landing, Ocheesee Landing, and Johnson Landing highlight the importance of the waterway for local transport.

Settlement is concentrated near the community of Rock Bluff, where a Radio Tower and Claypit mines suggest a mix of modern infrastructure and traditional industry. For genealogists, the map preserves the locations of several country churches and burial grounds, including Bethel Ch and its accompanying Bethel Ch Cem, as well as the Rock of Will Ch and Thomas Cem. The presence of the Forbes Purchase line reflects deep-seated land division patterns along Sweetwater Creek.
