About this map

Sumatra stands as a focal point in the southern reach of the Apalachicola National Forest, where the landscape is defined by the intricate hydrology of the Florida Panhandle. The area is dominated by a dense network of blackwater streams, including Black Creek and Hog Br Black Creek, which weave through the low-lying terrain. To the north, the small settlement of Bon Ami is positioned near a series of forest roads, illustrating the region's historical reliance on timber and forest management.

The presence of the Black Creek Islands and the W Prong New River suggests a complex wetland environment, while Boatwright Lakes provides a rare open-water feature in this saturated woodland. The boundary between Liberty and Franklin counties cuts across the lower portion of the map near Wright Lake, marking a transition between the deep forest interior and the coastal influences to the south. This survey captures a moment when traditional forest access roads like National Forest Road 114 remained the primary arteries through the swampy flats.
