About this map

The Chipola River winds through the heart of this Jackson County landscape, its course flanked by a dense network of springs and branches including Spring Creek and Buck Pelt Branch. This 1990s-era record reflects a rural community anchored by small settlements like Oakdale and Simsville, where the legacy of early families is preserved in numerous burial grounds such as Jerusalem Cem, Pledger Cem, and Braxton Cem.

Tracing the Old Railroad Grade through the northern half of the region reveals the former paths of industry, while modern landmarks like the Boat Ramp and several Quarry sites indicate ongoing river use and resource extraction. Educational and religious cornerstones of the area, including the Hope Sch, Marvin Ch, and United Ch, are clearly mapped alongside prominent water bodies like Bellamy Pond and Clair Pond.
