About this map

Jackson serves as the focal point of this mid-1960s survey, showing a well-established infrastructure including a Hospital, Armory, and Henderson High Sch. To the east, the industrial character of Pepperton is visible alongside the Southern railroad line, while the southern portion of the sheet is dominated by the recreational and natural landscape of Indian Springs State Park and its accompanying Indian Springs Campground.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the distribution of family-named landmarks and rural religious sites, such as Robert Grier Home Cem and Kimbrough-Hard Cem. The northeastern corner transitions into the waters of Jackson Lake, featuring a Landing Strip and marine facilities. This geography illustrates the mid-century balance between a growing county seat, small rail-side communities like Flovilla, and the extensive creek network including Aboothlacoosta Creek and Tussahaw Creek that drains the surrounding timberland and farms.
