1981 Map of Tates Hell Swamp

USGS Topo · Published 1982

About this map

Tates Hell Swamp dominates this orthophotomap of the Florida Panhandle, revealing the intricate water and forest patterns of Franklin County in the early 1980s. Unlike traditional topographic maps, this aerial-derived sheet provides a photographic record of the dense canopy and wetlands, cut through by human infrastructure like the Old Railroad Grade and Buck Siding Road. The settlement at Five Points and the winding course of Whiskey George Creek highlight the isolated pockets of activity within this vast interior. Boundary lines for the historical Forbes Purchase are clearly delineated, marking a significant piece of Florida land history. The drainage network, including Gully Branch, illustrates the low-lying hydrology typical of this Gulf Coast region before modern conservation efforts shifted the landscape's management.
