2018 Map of Wilma

About this map

Apalachicola National Forest dominates this section of Liberty County, where the landscape is defined by a complex network of bays, swamps, and creek systems. Small settlements such as Wilma, Central City, Vilas, and Kern are scattered through the timberlands, connected primarily by forest roads like National Forest Rd 118. This survey highlights the intricate drainage of the New River basin, featuring numerous swampy depressions like Whitehead Swamp and Lindsey Bay. Local history and genealogy interest is concentrated at the Nixon Garden Cem and several historic crossing points, including Burnt Bridge and Cliff Bridge. The Florida National Scenic Trail winds through the northern portion of the map, providing a path through the dense wetlands of Devils Swamp and Shuler Bay, illustrating the preservation of this Florida wilderness in the early 21st century.
