2018 Map of Wewahitchka

About this map

Wewahitchka sits at the heart of this landscape, where the town's residential grid transitions into a complex web of wetlands and waterways. The area is defined by the convergence of the Apalachicola River and the Chipola River, which create a network of secondary channels like the Chipola Cutoff and Moccasin Slough. This hydrological pattern historically shaped the local economy and settlement, as seen in the distribution of communities like Honeyville and Dalkeith along the higher ground of the western corridor. Genealogists will find several burial grounds noted, including Williamsburg Cem and Roberts Cem, which mark the presence of established families in the region. The map also identifies numerous family-named or descriptive water features, such as Lake Alice, Lockey Lake, and the winding Louisa Bend, illustrating how the local geography is intimately tied to the river's shifting course.
