About this map

The Chipola River carves a central path through this section of Jackson County, flanked by the Chipola River State Trl. The landscape is a network of small settlements and family landmarks, including Oakdale, Simsville, and Rock Creek. These communities are connected by historic routes like the Old Spanish Trl, reflecting the long-standing transit patterns of the Florida Panhandle.

Genealogists will find a high concentration of burial sites throughout the area, such as Pelt Cem, Elder Cem, and Braxton Cem, which serve as anchors for the local history. Educational and social life is represented by the Hope School, while the hydrography is defined by numerous smaller water bodies like Bellamy Pond, Spring Creek, and Maddox Slough. This modern survey documents the persistent rural character of the region, where numerous named branches like Pelt Cr and Buck Pelt Br feed into the primary river system.
