2021 Map of Wewahitchka

About this map

The confluence of the Apalachicola River and the Chipola River creates a labyrinthine wetland landscape dominated by sloughs, reaches, and cutoffs. The community of Wewahitchka sits at the northern edge of this aquatic network, serving as a gateway to the intricate waterways of Magnolia Slough and Whites River. This modern survey reveals a geography shaped by water, where small settlements like Honeyville and Gaskins Still occupy the higher ground between the river systems. Local history is anchored by several rural burial grounds, including Williamsburg Cem, Roberts Cem, and Robertson Cem, which provide critical points of reference for genealogists. The southern portion of the map transitions toward Dalkeith, following the bend of the Chipola River through a landscape punctuated by landmarks such as Pockey Lake and the Sheep Islands, illustrating the persistent role of these river corridors in defining local transport and land use.
