2024 Map of Baker

About this map

The Yellow River and Blackwater River systems define the landscape of northern Florida, where the communities of Baker and Milligan serve as central points for the surrounding rural area. This recent survey highlights a dense network of watercourses, including Panther Creek, Penny Creek, and the uniquely named Griffith Ferry Stretch on the river. The region is notable for its numerous family and community cemeteries, such as Aubrey Jordan Memorial Cem, Cobb Cem, and the Pilgrims Rest Baptist Church Cem, which provide significant value for genealogical research. Aviation is represented by several local strips, including Dotson Airport and Skypark Estates Owners Association Airport. The terrain rises toward Nubbin Ridge in the north, while the southern reaches are dominated by the wetlands and branches feeding the major rivers, illustrating the enduring agricultural and pastoral character of Okaloosa County.
