The Flood Risk Review Meeting for Liberty County was held on July 20, 2020. This meeting was coordinated by the Georgia Flood MAP Program as part of the Liberty County Peacock Creek Watershed Risk MAP Project.

With its scenic landscapes and rich history, Liberty County stands out as a hidden gem along the Georgia Coast. Over the span of nine years from 2010 to 2019, the county has witnessed fluctuations in canopy coverage, experiencing both losses and gains. The primary areas of canopy loss include residential development and clearing, while regrowth areas contribute to the majority of gains. Presented below is a map tour featuring each location exhibiting detected changes in canopy coverage, along with findings from on-site observations. Scroll down and click on an image to see the location and pictures takes during site visits. Additionally, an integrated Swipe feature allows users to interactively explore canopy changes between 2010 and 2019, providing a dynamic visualization of landscape transformations over time.
