1946 Map of Sumatra
USGS Topo · Published 1946About this map
The Apalachicola National Forest dominates this mid-1940s survey of Liberty County, revealing a landscape defined by expansive wetlands and sparse timber-era settlements. The village of Sumatra serves as the primary hub, situated near the Sumatra Fire Tower and a local Cem. Further north, the small settlement of Bon Ami sits amidst a network of drainage systems including Black Creek and West Prong New River. The map illustrates a period when the Florida Panhandle's interior relied heavily on forest management and limited road access, with the Liberty Co Franklin Co line cutting through the southern reaches of Mud Swamp and the water-logged terrain of Boggy Jordan. Low-lying features like Boatwright Lakes suggest the seasonal nature of the local hydrology during this era.
