About this map

Caryville and Westville sit at the center of this hydrographic network where the Choctawhatchee River and Yellow River converge. This complex system of wetlands and waterways is marked by numerous sloughs and ponds, including the winding Hickory Tree Flat Slough and Dead River. The landscape reflects a history of small riverside settlements and rural cemeteries, such as Harris Chapel Cem and Dyson Cem, which are scattered throughout the pine-forested terrain.

Industry and transport are tied to both water and rail, with the L & N RR running through the town centers near the Holmes and Washington County line. Local landmarks like Hathaway Mill and family-named features like Blanchet Field Hammock and Paul Island point to generations of land use in this river valley, where the floodplain creates a maze of islands and isolated hammocks like Hagans Hammock.
