About this map

Graceville and the campus of The Baptist College of Florida anchor the eastern side of this Jackson County survey, situated just south of the Alabama state line. The landscape is a network of slow-moving water and low hills, where Holmes Cr winds through a terrain marked by numerous wetland pockets like Collins Bay and Danford Bay. This area illustrates a rural Florida panhandle economy defined by its intersections, from the small settlement at Noma to Cobb Cross Roads and Noma Junction.

Tracing the path of the L & N RR, the map reveals historical landmarks such as Collins Mill and the Damascus Cem. Elevations like Murphy Hill and Riley Hill rise above the surrounding cypress ponds and bays, including Poplar Springs Pond and Courtneys Old Bay. The presence of Selma Church and its neighboring Selma Cem provides specific points of interest for genealogists researching family ties in this borderland region.
