About this map

The Apalachicola Northern railroad cuts a straight north-south line through this portion of the Apalachicola National Forest in Liberty County, providing the primary transportation corridor for the small settlement of Telogia. This mid-1940s landscape is defined by its intricate drainage networks, including the meandering Telogia Creek, Yellow Creek, and Reedy Creek, which wind through wet pine flatwoods and cypress strands like Big Cypress.

Genealogists and local historians can find several family-named landmarks and rural burial grounds, such as Old Burnore Cem, Evans Cem, and Mc Nair Cem. The mapping shows a working forest economy and primitive infrastructure, including Conners Ford and the Mercer Fire Tower. Isolated terrain features like the Brushy Islands and Black Cat Islands rise from the low-lying swamps, marking the distinct topography of the Florida Panhandle before modern development.
