About this map

Apalachicola National Forest dominates this section of the Florida Panhandle, where the tri-county border of Liberty, Leon, and Wakulla counties meets. The landscape is defined by a complex network of waterways, including the winding Telogia Creek, the headwaters of the W Br Sopchoppy River, and several family-named drainage runs such as Culley Br and Camp Br. The settlement of Ward sits near the center of the sheet, while family history is rooted at Chason Cemetery in the southwest and near Rhodes Springs to the east.

Industrial and forest management roads like Smith Creek Rd and Chason Rd crisscross the timberlands, providing access to landmarks like Rock Bluff and various secluded water bodies including Long Pond and Round Pond. The map reveals the intricate drainage patterns of the coastal plain, where numerous creeks like Sweetwater Cr and High Hill Cr flow through the protected forest environment, illustrating the geographic character of this rural Florida interior.
