Surveying in Washington County

Washington County was heavily impacted by Hurricane Michael in October 2018, with widespread destruction to timber resources and structures. Post-storm recovery continues to drive survey demand for boundary re-establishment and new construction.

The Holmes Creek and Choctawhatchee River systems create the primary flood-prone areas, with the rivers' alluvial floodplains hosting cypress swamps and bottomland hardwoods that complicate fieldwork access.

The county's predominantly rural character means survey work involves large agricultural and timber parcels, with Chipley serving as the primary population center along the I-10 corridor.
