2015 Map of Hinsons Crossroads

About this map

Westville sits at the northern edge of this Panhandle landscape, where the Choctawhatchee River winds through a complex system of bypasses and backwaters like Sawed Slough and the Old River. This environment is defined by its transition from the river bottomlands to the higher ground of Steep Hollow Hill and Big Hill. The map reveals a rural network of small settlements and named clearings, such as Hinsons Crossroads and Whitehead Crossroads, connected by long-established routes like Douglas Ferry Rd. Numerous small water bodies including Leavins Lake, Fortune Lake, and Pate Lake dot the terrain, alongside family-named landmarks like Cooey Field and Thomas Field. Genealogists will find the Clarkston Cem located near the southern border, south of Wickers Pond.
