About this map

West Point serves as the focal point of this region, situated where the Town Creek and Chuguatonchee Creek drainages meet. The town's grid is anchored by the Clay County Courthouse and Clay County Justice Court, while the surrounding landscape transitions into the distinct topography of Lyons Bluff and the lowlands of Tibbee Creek. This area preserves several significant historical markers, including the Mayhew Mission Cem and McPherson Cem, which point to early settlement patterns near the prairie's edge.

Water plays a central role in the geography here, with numerous lakes such as Lake Wooten and Hawkins Lake dotting the outskirts of the primary settlements. The map traces the movement of goods and people across the terrain at sites like Dicks Ferry, and through small outlying communities like Tibbee and Osborn. The presence of McCharen Field reflects the mid-century aviation infrastructure that remains integral to this part of the county.
