1950 Map of Chipley
USGS Topo · Published 1966About this map
Chipley serves as the primary hub of this 1950 topographical survey, situated at the convergence of the Louisville and Nashville railroad and the Old Spanish Trail. The landscape is a network of named wetlands and water bodies, including Double Spring Bay, Wolf Bay, and Duck Pd, which define the drainage patterns of Holmes Creek and Alligator Creek. This era of development is marked by rural outposts such as Richter Crossroads and Bahoma, alongside vital community landmarks like Salem Ch and Poplar Springs Ch. To the south, the Chipley Landing Field reflects mid-century aviation infrastructure, while numerous family-named landmarks like Hicks Hill and Watts Pond provide specific points of interest for genealogists tracing local land ownership and settlement patterns across the Jackson and Washington county lines.
