Description: This detail of a 1850 map from the New Universal Atlas shows towns, forts, roads, canals, major rivers and lakes in Wakulla County. The map is very similar to the 1839 map from Tanner's Universal Atlas. There are references to forts, battlefields, and routes used by the Army during the Seminole War. The Ocklockonee River feeds into the Ocklockonee Bay, which in turn is part of the larger Appalachee Bay.
