2018 Map of Altha East

About this map

The boundary between Jackson and Calhoun Counties bisects this Florida Panhandle landscape, where the rural settlements of Alliance, Altha, and Selman anchor a network of country roads. The terrain is defined by its drainages, including Wilson Mill Creek and Thomas Mill Creek, which flow through a region historically shaped by timber and small-scale agriculture. Genealogists will find notable burial sites such as Barton Cemetery and Atkins Cemetery near the old Henderson Mill site, as well as Chipola Cemetery to the southwest. The presence of Durham Bay and scattered wetlands like Bird Pond highlight the hydrologic character of the land, while the road network—including Northeast State Road 69 and numerous family-named routes—reflects decades of local travel and property divisions.
