Surveying in Calhoun County

Calhoun County was one of the hardest-hit counties by Hurricane Michael in 2018, and the slow recovery has been compounded by the county's limited economic resources. Post-storm surveys and reconstruction-related boundary work continue years after the event.

The Apalachicola River forms the county's eastern boundary, and the Chipola River runs through its center. Both rivers create extensive floodplain areas where seasonal flooding can make fieldwork access challenging.

The county's small population and rural character mean survey work is infrequent, typically involving agricultural parcels, timber tracts, and occasional residential construction along the river corridors.
