About this map

Kent Cem and the Majette Lookout Tower serve as distinct landmarks in this corner of Bay County, Florida, where the landscape is defined by an intricate network of waterways. The terrain is dominated by the low-lying California Swamp and numerous meandering creeks, including Cooks Bayou, Sandy Cr, and Bayou George Cr. This drainage system characterizes the transition between the pine flatwoods and the coastal estuaries north of East Bay.

Transportation corridors like Tram Rd and Old Allanton Rd hint at the area's history of timber harvesting and local travel. To the north, Crash Island stands as a notable topographic feature amidst the surrounding wetlands. This 2012 survey captures the area before significant modern development, preserving the locations of rural cemeteries and fire-watch infrastructure that are essential for local genealogical and historical research.
