2015 Map of Cottondale West

About this map

Cottondale and Jacob City anchor this Northwest Florida landscape, situated within the agricultural and wooded corridor of Jackson County. The area is defined by an intricate network of water bodies and named drainage systems, most notably Gilberts Mill Cr and the winding Little Alligator Cr. These waterways, along with Russ Mill Cr and Dorman Br, once provided the essential resources for early settlement and local milling operations. A cluster of water features, including Bonnet Pond, Grassy Pond, Harold Pond, and Jackson Pond, are scattered across the terrain, reflecting the region's typical karst-influenced hydrology. A dense grid of local roads, such as Peanut Rd, Tobacco Rd, and Veteran Rd, cross the landscape, illustrating the enduring agricultural identity of the communities near the Jackson and Washington County line.
