2018 Map of Hinsons Crossroads

About this map

The Choctawhatchee River and its intricate network of side channels, including Sawed Slough and Old River, dominate this landscape near the tri-county intersection of Holmes, Walton, and Washington. This environment is characterized by numerous small bodies of water and swampy depressions such as Shaky Joe Swamp and Yates Swamp, while subtle elevations like Steep Hollow Hill and Big Hill provide relief from the surrounding lowlands. The settlement pattern consists primarily of rural junctions and named fields, reflecting a long-standing agricultural and timber-based economy.
