About this map

Wewahitchka sits at the southern reach of the Dead Lakes, where the unique inundated forest landscape of Gulf County meets the West Arm of Dead Lakes. This modern survey documents a complex network of waterways, including the Apalachicola River and the Chipola Cutoff, which define the low-lying terrain. The town's layout is grounded by the West Arm Bridge and the historical Jehu Cem, while residential roads like Gary Rowell Rd and Rudy's Blaze suggest the local character of the community.

Further north, the map details the transition across the Calhoun Co Gulf Co boundary. Water remains the dominant feature, with named points such as Iola Landing and McCabe Island serving as vital landmarks in the riverine environment. The confluence of Stone Mill Cr and the larger Florida River highlights the intricate drainage patterns that have historically shaped settlement and industry in this part of Florida.
