2011 Map of Barnett Crossroads

About this map

Big Escambia Creek winds through this Escambia County landscape, defining the topography of a region anchored by small rural settlements and family landmarks. The area around Barnett Crossroads and Pineview is characterized by a network of local roads such as Gus Searcy Rd and Grissett Bridge Rd, which connect scattered homesteads and timberlands. For genealogists and local historians, several burial grounds are documented, including Hawkins Cemetery, Magnolia Cemetery, and Emmons Cemetery. A distinctive feature in the southern portion of the sheet is the Maschmeyer Lookout Tower, standing near the community of Pineview. Waterways like Broken Leg Creek and Narrow Gap Creek feed into the larger creek system, crossed by structures like Gressett Bridge and Sardine Bridge. The map also captures the settlement of Sardine near the southwestern corner, illustrating the quiet, rural character of southern Alabama at the start of the 2010s.
