About this map

Graceville and its surrounding agricultural and timber lands sit at the crossroads of North Florida and Alabama, marked by the prominent campus of The Baptist College of Florida. The terrain is defined by a series of low elevations like McIntosh Hill and Smothers Hill that rise above the intricate wetland systems of the Holmes Cr basin. To the west, the settlements of Noma and Noma Junction represent the historic rail-and-road connections of Jackson County.

A network of family-named bays and ponds, such as Hicks Old Bay and Poplar Springs Pond, illustrates the local water management and natural drainage patterns of this region. Local history is anchored at sites like Collins Mill and several rural burying grounds including Selma Cem and Damascus Cem. This topography shows the enduring rural character of the Panhandle, where small communities like Cobb Cross Roads emerged around the junctions of county routes.
