About this map

Chipola River meanders through this portion of Calhoun County, defining a landscape of low-lying wetlands and landing sites. During the mid-1940s, the river served as a vital corridor for local movement, marked by riverfront points such as Smith Landing and Carter Landing. The map reflects a rural community anchored by small settlements like Frink and Kinard, where life was centered around local institutions such as Frink Ch and the Abe Springs Sch.

The presence of McClellan Cem and family-named features like Pitts Mill Pond offers clear evidence of the area's ancestral settlement patterns. To the south, the terrain opens into the northern reaches of Dead Lake near Frozen Bluff. This topographic study, mapped in 1944, preserves the specific locations of rural crossroads and river landings that shaped the interior of the Florida Panhandle before modern development.
