About this map

Blountstown serves as the focal point for this survey of the Florida panhandle, situated where the high ground of Peach Tree Ridge meets the intricate wetlands of the Apalachicola River basin. The landscape is defined by the river’s complex hydrology, featuring oxbows and floodplain lakes such as Gin House Lake, Wind Lake, and Outside Lake. North of the city, Pine Island and the Calhoun County Airport anchor the local infrastructure, while the Florida National Scenic Trail winds its way through the region.

Genealogists will find several burial grounds across the area, including Nettle Ridge Cem, Boggs Cem, and Wood Cem. The map reveals a transition from the structured residential grid of Blountstown to a more dispersed rural pattern along numerous family-named roads like NE Jim Durham Rd and NE Lee Farm Rd. This document captures the intersection of traditional river-bottom geography and modern development in Calhoun County.
