2021 Map of Sanborn

About this map

Saint Marks National Wildlife Refuge and the Apalachicola National Forest dominate this landscape at the intersection of Wakulla, Liberty, and Franklin counties. The area is defined by a dense network of watercourses, including the Ochlockonee River and the winding Sopchoppy River. In the southern reaches, the Sanborn Cutoff and Sufrett Cutoff reveal how the river systems have been navigated and managed over time. Smaller settlements and historic sites like Sanborn and Curtis Mill are situated among the wetlands and timberlands. Local history is anchored by the Sanborn McKenzie Cem and West Sopchoppy Cem, providing tangible links to the families who settled this region. The terrain is notably flat and saturated, characterized by features such as Bradwell Bay and Alligator Swamp, where the low elevation requires precise water management through features like the Lower Ochlockonee River State Trl.
