Whether or not you agree with the terminology, the information found in the little book Glenda has shared with us is valuable to researchers and genealogists. I had records stating that my Cook ancestors lived at Haywood's Landing, which I couldn't find on modern maps. When I saw the book on Fl. Ghost Towns it solved that little mystery for me, and I'm sure the list has been helpful to others as well. Thanks, Glenda, for sharing! Stephanie

The issue was the terminology NOT whether or not the information was useful, interesting and helpful ... and it was NOT directed at Glenda. The term "Ghost towns" is misleading and inappropriate for a place that consisted of only a turpentine still, school house, store, etc that no longer exists. Also some of the "Ghost towns" listed were and are today just communities that appeared on old and current maps. Some that responded to the listings was interested in coming to Jackson Co. and finding some of those "Ghost town" so it was appropriate to clarify this before someone makes a trip and will be sorely disappointed..
