1990 Map of Clarksville

About this map

The Chipola River carves a winding path through the center of this Panhandle landscape, dictating the settlement patterns of central Calhoun County. Small farming communities and family-named junctions such as Rollins Corner and Clarksville are clustered along the Base Line and local routes, while the surrounding pine-rich lowlands are defined by numerous watercourses like Fourmile Creek and Tenmile Creek. Genealogy researchers will find significant value in the high density of rural religious and burial sites, including Abe Springs Ch, Magnolia Ch, and the Ayers Cems. The map also captures local education history at the Carr Sch and industrial remnants like the Claypit near Mayo Mill Branch. Land markers like the Landing Strip and Boat Ramp indicate the modern recreational and utility uses of the river corridor by the late twentieth century.
