1973 Map of Baker

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

Baker serves as the central hub of this northern Okaloosa County landscape, surrounded by the dense timberlands of the Blackwater River State Forest. The map illustrates a region defined by its hydrology, where the Blackwater River and Yellow River carve through the terrain, joined by numerous named tributaries like Gum Springs Branch and Threemite Branch. This era shows a community rooted in timber and small-town infrastructure, evidenced by the presence of several country churches such as Golan Ch and Pyron Spring Chapel. Near the southern edge, the settlement of Milligan sits along the river, while several landing strips and a Substation in Baker indicate the mid-century modernization of the area. Genealogists will find value in the specific locations of family-named landmarks and cemeteries, including Cobb Cem and Griffith Cem, which document the local heritage along the river stretches.
