About this map

The Ochlockonee River meanders across this landscape of the Florida Panhandle, marking the western boundary of the Apalachicola National Forest. This region, where Wakulla, Liberty, and Franklin counties meet, is defined by a dense network of blackwater creeks and backswamps. The settlement of Sopchoppy sits near the eastern edge, supported by the winding Sopchoppy River, while the smaller community of Sanborn is situated further west.

Genealogists will find the Sanborn McKenzie Cemetery and West Sopchoppy Cemetery particularly valuable for tracing local lineages. The map documents an intricate hydrologic system, including the Syfrett Cutoff and Sanborn Cutoff, alongside landforms like Morrison Hammock. A web of forest roads, such as Stephen C Revell Rd and Gertie Brown Rd, provides access through the timbered wetlands to landmarks like Curtis Mill.
