1982 Map of Hobbs Crossroads

About this map

The Alabama-Florida state line bisects this landscape, where the Pea River and Choctawhatchee River define the local drainage patterns. Small rural communities like Sweet Gum Head and Hobbs Crossroads anchor the region, characterized by a network of family-named cemeteries and country churches. The map documents numerous landmarks essential to the local social fabric, including Hurricane Creek Church, Beulah Anna Church, and the McDuffie Cemetery. Near the southern bend of the Choctawhatchee, the Old Warehouse Landing suggests a history of river-based commerce and transit. The terrain is marked by numerous ponds and branches, such as Bakers Pond and Pine Log Creek, illustrating the well-watered character of the Gulf Coastal Plain before modern development altered these traditional drainage systems.
