1990 Map of Sumatra

About this map

Sumatra serves as the primary hub of activity in this section of the Florida Panhandle, situated along the Liberty and Franklin County line. The landscape is dominated by the dense wetlands of the Apalachicola National Forest, where intricate drainage systems like Black Creek and Bear Creek move through the Black Islands. To the east, the environment shifts toward the protected Mud Swamp-New River Wilderness, a region characterized by its lack of infrastructure and the winding course of the New River. Small-scale human markers such as the Sumatra Cemetery and a local Sandpit indicate the proximity of local industry and community history within the larger expanse of the Boggy Jordan National Forest. This 1990 survey reflects a period of established conservation, showing the clear boundaries between managed forest lands and designated wilderness areas.
