About this map

Alliance and Macedonia anchor this rural landscape in the early 1980s, where the border between Jackson Co and Calhoun Co marks a terrain defined by complex water drainage. The area is heavily intersected by small watercourses such as Thomas Mill Creek, Wilson Mill Creek, and Flowers Creek, which feed into the larger Chipola Creek system. This network supported local industry and transport, evidenced by landmarks like Henderson Mill and the McCroan Airstrip.

Social and community life is visible through scattered rural institutions, including Corinth Ch, Sunny Hill Ch, and Mt Olive Ch. The mapping also highlights specialized land use, from the Sandpit near Selman to the various Pipelines cutting through the southern timber and wetlands. Genealogists can trace family footprints through several named burial sites, including Barton Cem and Atkins Cem, which sit alongside the shifting boundaries of Durham Bay and Carpenter Sink.
