2021 Map of Compass Lake

About this map

Compass Lake serves as a central landmark at the junction of Jackson and Washington counties, surrounded by a dense network of local roads including Compass Lake Dr and Lakeview Cir. This area is defined by its complex hydrology, where Econfina Cr and Sweetwater Cr carve through the landscape, eventually passing under Econfina Bridge. The terrain shows a distinct shift from the wetlands of Cypress Swamp and Walker Bayou in the south to the higher elevations of Sandy Mountain. To the south, the settlement of Betts and the Maran Airport reflect the human footprint amidst the waterways. Farther west, Hammond Lake and Goshum Br emphasize the abundance of freshwater resources that have historically shaped land use and property boundaries across these four Florida counties.
