1994 Map of Sills

About this map

The Chipola River corridor defines the eastern reaches of this Jackson County landscape, where the state line meets Alabama. The terrain is characterized by a dense network of water bodies and marshlands, including Marshall Creek, Anderson Lake, and the expansive Pittman Bay. Small rural communities and congregations are scattered throughout the pine-dotted lowlands, evidenced by numerous country churches such as Holyneck Ch, St Phillips Ch, and Ephesus Ch. Near the southern border, Waddells Mill Pond stands as a notable landmark of local industry and water management. Genealogists will find particular value in the identification of family-named sites like Moulten Cem and the Hart Cem, reflecting the deep-rooted settlement patterns of the Sills area during the late twentieth century.
