About this map

The settlement of Sills lies at the heart of this North Florida landscape, just south of the Alabama border. The area is defined by its extensive water features and wetlands, including Pittman Bay, Green Bay, and Wildcat Bay. The southern portion of the quadrangle is dominated by the winding course of the Chipola River, which is joined by tributaries like Marshall Creek and Hays Spring Run. Historical and genealogical interest is found at Friendship Cem and near Waddells Mill Pond, reflecting a landscape tied closely to its water resources.

Industrial and transport infrastructure is represented by Hart Airport and a dense network of local roads such as Saint Phillips Rd and Co Rd 162. The terrain is peppered with distinct bodies of water like Open Pond, Duck Pond, and Pine Log Pond, illustrating the typical karst and swamp geography of Jackson County. This survey provides a clear view of the rural settlement patterns and drainage systems of the Panhandle region in the early 21st century.
