1946 Map of Telogia

About this map

Telogia stands as a central settlement in the Florida panhandle just after World War II, situated along the Apalachicola Northern railroad line. This 1946 survey details the extensive wetlands and tributary networks within the Apalachicola National Forest, including Telogia Creek, Yellow Creek, and the swampy expanse of Big Cypress. The map records several small family and local burial grounds, such as Old Burnoff Cem, Evans Cem, and Mcnair Cem, which offer significant value for genealogical research in Liberty County. Natural terrain features like the Brushy Islands and the Black Cat Islands characterize the low-lying landscape, while landmarks like Conners Ford and the Mercer Firetower indicate how residents and foresters navigated this water-dominated environment.
