2021 Map of Cottondale West

About this map

Cottondale anchors the southeastern corner of this Jackson County landscape, where the local road network fans out into a patchwork of rural homesteads and wetlands. To the north, the small community of Jacob City sits near a dense cluster of water features, including Bear Pond, Grassy Pond, and Bonnet Pond. The terrain is defined by its low-lying hydrology, characterized by significant bays such as Holland Bay, Drummond Bay, and Melvin Bay. Genealogists and local historians will find the Rock Hill Cem situated in the southwestern section of the map, near Skipper Lake. The drainage of Gilberts Mill Cr meanders through the central area, crossing various rural routes like Tobacco Rd and Lovewood Rd. This survey documents a contemporary view of North Florida's transition from small-town centers to the quiet interior of the Panhandle.
