2018 Map of Tenmile Swamp

About this map

Wetappo Swamp and the dense wetland networks of the Florida panhandle dominate this survey, highlighting a landscape defined by water and timber management. The boundary between Calhoun and Gulf counties bisects the terrain, which is characterized by extensive cypress and gum basins like Tenmile Swamp and Green Bay Swamp. These lowlands are drained by a complex system of creeks, including Wetappo Creek and the Right Prong Stone Mill Creek, while the higher ground is marked by features like Two Pen Ridge. Local genealogy is anchored at the Wetappo and Kemp cemeteries, located near the southern edge of the quadrangle. The map also records the rural infrastructure of the era, from the historic CCC Road to numerous family-named tracks such as Ike Steele Road and Jarrott Daniels Road.
