About this map

The Apalachicola National Forest dominates this landscape, showing a dense network of hydrologic features and forest management roads at the start of the 1990s. The terrain is characterized by numerous cypress bays and swamps, including Fullman Hill Bay, Whitehead Swamp, and the evocative Devils Old Field Swamp. These wetlands feed into the New River and its various tributaries like South Creek and Hogpen Creek. Small named locales such as Wilma, Vilas, and Central City are situated along the primary transportation corridors, providing a look at the scattered settlement pattern within the federal forest lands.

Outdoor recreation and conservation efforts are evident through the path of the Florida National Scenic Trail and the protected Mud Swamp-New River Wilderness. Local family or landmark names are preserved in features like Jensen Place, Bill Dick Pond, and Glover Head, offering valuable reference points for genealogists and local historians studying Liberty County. The map also identifies industrial or utility markers like the Gaging Station near the New River.
