About this map

Compass Lake serves as the central focal point of this Jackson County landscape, surrounded by a dense network of residential drives including Wisteria Ln and Coral Vine Dr. The area transitions from the settled lakeside community to a complex system of waterways and drainages, most notably Econfina Creek which winds through the center of the sheet. To the north, the Compass Lake Fire Tower stands as a significant landmark for forest management, while to the south, the settlement of Betts marks a crossroad near the Maran Airport.

The hydrography of the region is particularly intricate, with named branches like Sandy Mountain Branch, Goshum Branch, and Sewell Branch feeding into the larger creek systems. Isolated water bodies such as Turnip Pond and Hammond Lake dot the western reaches. This survey captures a moment of modern development where historic rural routes intersect with newer residential grids, evidenced by names like Cannonball Run Road and Tumble Creek Boulevard.
