About this map

The boundary between Jackson and Calhoun counties divides this Panhandle landscape, where the rural settlements of Alliance, Altha, and Stafford are connected by a network of local roads and waterways. The terrain is defined by low-lying wetlands like Durham Bay and numerous creek systems, including Wilson Mill Creek and Thomas Mill Creek, which give name to landmarks like Henderson Mill.

Evidence of historical transportation and infrastructure is visible in the Old Railroad Grade and various pipelines crossing the territory. Local heritage is deeply rooted in its small community gathering places, from the McCroan Airstrip to numerous country churches and burial grounds such as Mt Olive Ch, Corinth Ch, and Barton Cem. The map provides a detailed view of these remote Florida settlements as they appeared in the late twentieth century.
