About this map

Lake Seminole dominates the landscape of this Florida-Georgia borderland, where the Chattahoochee River feeds into the expansive reservoir. The terrain is a complex network of wetlands and small water bodies such as Boran Lake, Battle Pond, and Ned Pond, illustrating the hydraulic character of Jackson County. Small settlements and landings serve as focal points for the local community, including the namesake Fairchild and the neighboring Haynes.

Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of numerous burial sites throughout the region, such as Wooten Cemetery, Robinson Cemetery, and Whiddon Cemetery. The map also preserves the locations of vital river access points like Butlers Ferry Landing and Cummings Landing, which represent the enduring connection between the residents and the river system. The infrastructure of the early 21st century is captured through a web of named rural routes like Welcome Church Rd and Sandridge Church Rd.
