1945 Map of Tenmile Swamp

About this map

Wetappo Creek flows through a landscape defined by an extensive drainage network in the Florida panhandle at the end of World War II. The terrain is characterized by broad wetland systems such as Ten Mile and Wetappo Swamp, punctuated by slight topographic rises like Two Pen Ridge. Human infrastructure is sparse, concentrated primarily around the Wetappo Forest Ranger Sta and a handful of local water bodies including Williams Pond and Bee Pond. The map captures the boundary between Calhoun Co and Gulf Co, showing a region largely dominated by its natural hydrology, from the Green Bay Swamp in the north to the meandering paths of Stone Mill Creek and Sandy Creek further south.
