1982 Map of Cottondale East

About this map

Marianna and Cottondale anchor this Jackson County landscape in the early 1980s, a region defined by an extensive network of spring-fed ponds and the winding Chipola River. The area north of Marianna is notably dense with small water bodies such as Snelling Pond and Roulhac Pond, which feed into Russ Mill Creek and Waddells Mill Creek. Historically significant sites like Waddells Mill and the nearby Waddells Millpond illustrate the water-driven industry of earlier eras, while Webbville Spring and Tanner Springs point to the subterranean hydrology of the Florida panhandle. The Louisville and Nashville rail line cuts across the terrain, connecting these agrarian hubs. Along the river, the Bellamy Bridge and Christoff Ferry Landing represent critical historical crossing points, while various churches like Springfield Ch and New Hope Ch serve as local landmarks for family researchers.
