About this map

The Choctawhatchee River defines the central topography of this borderland region, winding south through the Alberson Stretch before crossing from Alabama into Florida. Small agricultural settlements like Pittman and Izagora anchor a landscape defined by its creek networks and low-lying wetlands. The map details the transition from the upland roads of Smith Crossroads down to the river bottoms, where the James Riley 'Jim' Paul Bridge serves as a vital crossing point for State Road 2.

Local history is preserved in sites such as Whitewater Cem and Curry Cem, which sit alongside numerous tributaries including E Pittman Cr and Tiger Ford Br. To the southwest, the terrain becomes increasingly lacustrine near the river's edge, marked by Blackfish Lake, Chapman Lake, and Blue Lake. The presence of these lakes and named branches suggests a landscape where the natural hydrology has long dictated the placement of roads and farmsteads.
