About this map

Westville sits at the northern edge of this landscape, where the Choctawhatchee River creates a complex network of waterways including Saved Slough and Old River. The terrain is defined by a dense concentration of wetlands and named fields, suggesting a long history of local agriculture and river-dependent living. Features like Buck Hammock Field, Cooey Field, and Bullet Field indicate specific pockets of cleared land amidst the broader swampy environment.

Further south, the rural character is anchored by small junctions like Hinsons Crossroads and Whitehead Crossroads. The map reveals a wealth of named water bodies and bays, from the curiously named Baptising Pond and Surveyor Pond to the expansive Yates Swamp. For those tracing local heritage, the Clarkston Cem provides a specific point of genealogical interest near the southern border, while old thoroughfares like Douglas Ferry Rd show the historical routes connecting these isolated Florida settlements.
