2018 Map of Frink

About this map

Frink and Kinard anchor this portion of Calhoun County, where the landscape transitions into the riverine wetlands of the Chipola River basin. The terrain is defined by numerous bays and ponds, such as Green Bay and Fox Pond, which illustrate the complex hydrology of the Florida panhandle. The southeastern corner of the map reveals the upper reaches of the Dead Lakes, a distinctive environment where the river spills over its banks into cypress-heavy swamplands. Cultural landmarks are scattered along the rural road network, including the McClellan Cem and the West Bay Bridge crossing. The prominence of named bluffs along the river, like Frozen Bluff and Cedar Bluff, suggests the historical importance of high ground for settlement and navigation in an otherwise water-dominant region. Local family names are preserved through thoroughfares like Clayton Shiver Rd and SW Capt Yonn Rd.
