About this map

The Choctawhatchee River winds through this agricultural landscape at the junction of Dale, Houston, and Geneva Counties. The area is anchored by the community of Clayhatchee, where historical footprints are preserved in numerous rural burial grounds such as Shiloh Cem and the Macedonia Cem. Military aviation presence is a defining modern feature of the terrain, evidenced by the large clearings for Allen Stagefield AL and Highbluff Stagefield AL, which serve training operations for nearby installations.

Traditional river crossings and local topography are documented through labels like Turners Ferry and the distinct elevation of High Bluff. Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of country churches, including the Bethel Baptist Church Cem and Tabernacle Methodist Church Cem, which are central to the small settlements of Bald Hill and Wicksburg. The map traces the intricate drainage of the Wiregrass region through waterways like Claybank Creek and Hurricane Creek.
