About this map

The Alberson Stretch Choctawhatchee River defines the western reaches of this North Florida landscape, where the state line meets Geneva County. The terrain is shaped by an intricate network of water, from the braided paths of River Nines and Tiger Creek to the secluded Blackfish Lake and Blue Lake. Small communities and agricultural hubs like Izagora and Smith Crossroads anchor the road network, which winds past numerous country churches that served as the social backbone of the region.

Genealogists can identify several specific sites, including Midway Ch, New Zion Ch, and the Curry Cemetery near Curry Ferry Branch. The map also captures local industry and resources, such as a Sandpit located near Pittman Creek, reflecting the rural character of Holmes County in the early 1980s. From Widewater Branch to the southern Catfish Branch, this survey provides a detailed record of the drainage patterns and family-named landmarks that characterized the Florida-Alabama borderlands during this era.
