About this map

Lake Jackson anchors the northern border of this survey, straddling the state line between Alabama and Florida. The shoreline serves as a focal point for the settlement of Florala, where a grid of streets including Lakeshore Blvd and Hickory St meets the water. Further south into Florida's Walton County, the terrain rises toward Britton Hill, noted as a significant local elevation.

Smaller rural communities and named clusters like Paxton, Flowersville, and Clear Springs are scattered throughout the landscape, connected by a network of local roads such as Double Bridge Rd and Bear Bay Flats RD. The area is defined by its complex drainage patterns, with Pine Log Cr and Turkey Cr winding through lowlands like Bear Flat Swamp. Genealogists and local historians will find the locations of Greenwood Cem and Miller Cem particularly useful for tracing early family residency in this borderland region.
