1952 Map of Altha East

USGS Topo · Published 1953

About this map

Altha and the surrounding agricultural lands of Calhoun and Jackson counties are documented here in the early 1950s, following a decade of topographic refinement from aerial photography. The landscape is defined by the drainage of Thomas Mill Creek and Flowers Creek as they move toward the Chipola River in the southwest. A high concentration of community landmarks provides significant value for local history, including Henderson Mill and a network of rural meeting houses such as Sunny Hill Ch, Corinth Ch, and Mt Olive Ch. The map reveals the intricate water network of the Florida Panhandle, where numerous sinks and ponds like Bird Pond dot the terrain alongside more substantial flows such as Ocheesee Creek. Settlement patterns are clear, with small clusters at Alliance and Ocheesee serving as focal points for the dispersed farmsteads of the era.
