2012 Map of Malone

About this map

Agricultural lands and scattered aviation facilities define the landscape of Jackson County in the early 21st century. The map centers on the rural settlement of Ellis, where the local community is anchored by Ellis Church at the junction of several county roads. The region's geography is punctuated by numerous small basins and water bodies such as Boggy Pond, Williams Pond, and Goose Pond, while Cowarts Cr and Hays Spring Run drain the western reaches. For genealogists, the map is particularly valuable for its precise locations of family-oriented and community burial grounds, including Coonrod Cem, McNeally Cem, Hays Cem, and Nubbin Ridge Cem. An interesting concentration of small-scale aviation is evident in the southern portion of the sheet, featuring the Chipola Airpark, Acres Of Diamonds Airpark, and the J D Milton Farm Airport, suggesting a legacy of private and agricultural flight in this part of the Florida Panhandle.
