About this map

Glass sits near the northern boundary of this survey, surrounded by a complex network of wetlands and seasonal watercourses in rural Jackson County. The landscape is defined by its low-lying hydrology, where Little Alligator Cr and Dorman Br feed into larger systems like Gilberts Mill Cr. This area is dotted with numerous small named basins, including Harold Pond, Grassy Pond, and Jackson Pond, suggesting a terrain shaped by sinkholes and localized drainage common to this part of the Florida Panhandle.

A network of local roads, such as Tobacco Rd, Old Hickory Pond Rd, and Cutchins Mill Rd, connects the scattered farmsteads and rural residences. These names often hint at the agricultural history of the region. The map also documents modern infrastructure developments alongside these older routes, including the prominent transit of Overpass Rd and its relationship to the local farm-to-market road system.
