Surveying in Liberty County

Liberty County is one of Florida's least populated and most heavily forested counties. The Apalachicola National Forest covers the majority of the county, with the Apalachicola River forming the eastern boundary and creating extensive floodplain environments.

Torreya State Park, home to the rare and endangered Torreya tree, features some of the steepest terrain in Florida with bluffs rising over 150 feet above the Apalachicola River. Surveys in this area encounter elevation changes rarely seen elsewhere in the state.

Survey work in Liberty County is extremely limited, primarily consisting of rural parcel divisions, timber tract boundaries, and occasional coordination with federal land surveys along the national forest boundaries.
