About this map

The Ochlockonee River forms a serpentine boundary between Liberty and Wakulla Counties, carving through the dense woodland of the Apalachicola National Forest. This section of the Florida Panhandle is defined by its complex hydrology, where numerous named branches like Hickory Br, Bulloch Br, and Arbor Bush Br feed into the main river system and smaller lakes. The settlement of Smith Creek serves as a central point in this landscape, situated near the FNST - Wakulla Section of the Florida National Scenic Trail.

Remote forest roads, including National Forest Rd and FH 13, provide the primary network for accessing the interior wetlands. Geographers and local historians can observe the distinct distribution of water bodies such as Highlog Lake, Frog Lake, and XL Lake, which punctuate the low-lying terrain near the Liberty Co Wakulla Co line. The map captures the area's transition between managed forest lands and the natural riparian corridors of the river basin.
