1972 Map of Sopchoppy

About this map

The Sopchoppy River snakes through the heart of the coastal lowlands, anchoring a landscape where the dense wetlands of the Apalachicola National Forest meet the Gulf waters. The settlement of Sopchoppy sits near the river's bend, while to the southeast, the coastal community of Panacea provides access to Dickerson Bay and Levy Bay. This 1970s survey captures a transition between the inland forest and the tidal flats of the St Marks National Wildlife Refuge, where numerous lakes like Alligator Lake and Otter Lake pockmark the terrain.
