About this map

Chipley serves as the focal point of this 1982 revision, situated at the junction of the Louisville and Nashville railroad and major regional thoroughfares. The town's infrastructure is well-defined, showing the hospital, Roulhac Middle Sch, and the Vocational Tech Center. Surrounding the urban center, the landscape is a network of bayous and ponds, such as Wolf Bay, Register Bay, and Watts Pond, which shape the rural settlements of Sand Hill and Bahoma.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of rural cemeteries and churches across the three-county border area of Washington, Jackson, and Holmes. Features like Limestone Cem, Nearing Hill Cem, and the Holmes Creek Ch offer precise locations for family history research. Industrial footprints are also visible, specifically the various claypits located near Hicks Hill and to the south of the Chipley Municipal Airport, marking the local extraction economy of the early 1980s.
