2014 Map of Jackson

About this map

Jackson stands at the heart of this survey, serving as the primary hub for the surrounding settlements of Pepperton, Stark, and the unincorporated community of McMichael Crossroads. The landscape is defined by the headwaters of Jackson Lake in the northeast, fed by Tussahaw Cr and the Caney Fork. This hydrography provided the backbone for the early mills and industrial sites that once peppered the area. South of the main town, the terrain transitions toward Flovilla and the mineral waters of Indian Springs, areas long valued for their geological and recreational properties. Several family and community burial grounds, including the Cedar Rock Cem and Watkins Cem, are dispersed throughout the countryside, offering significant data points for genealogical research. The presence of Seven Lakes Airport and landmarks like Hendricks Bridge illustrate the modern transportation network laid over the older crossroads and agrarian boundaries of Butts County.
