1952 Map of Alford SE

About this map

The Econfina River and its network of interior ponds characterize this rural stretch of the Florida Panhandle during the early 1950s. Straddling the Jackson and Calhoun county line, the landscape is defined by a complex drainage system where waters like Tenmile Creek and Foxworth Mill Creek wind through swampy lowlands and sandy heads. The area's social geography is anchored by small, isolated landmarks such as Camps Head Ch, the Adventist Ch, and the Pippen Cem, which represent the spiritual and family centers for the local residents.
