About this map

Telogia Creek winds through a landscape defined by expansive wetlands and timberlands in the heart of Liberty County. Mapping by the Geological Survey during the final years of World War II reveals a sparsely settled interior, where the small community of Woods serves as a primary reference point. The terrain is a complex network of bays, branches, and ponds, including the curiously named Half Open Pond and Camel Pond.

Large portions of the area fall within the Apalachicola National Forest, where traditional crossing points like Smokehouse Crossing and Fawn Ford indicate established routes through the dense vegetation of Juniper Swamp. Named features such as Memory Island and Sheep Island suggest dry ground amidst the surrounding marshes, while numerous "bays" like Shuler Bay and Washington Bay characterize the local topography of these Florida flatwoods.
