1994 Map of Bay Springs

About this map

Bay Springs and the nearby settlement of McKinnon anchor the lower portion of this landscape, situated near a network of small industrial sites including a Sandpit and Claypit. The area is defined by its extensive water system, where McDavid Creek and Boggy Creek drain the western reaches while Pine Barren Creek and Little Pine Barren Creek wind through the north. The eastern half of the map is dominated by the Champion International State Wildlife Management Area, a large managed tract intersected by several small tributaries such as Blue Water Creek and Alligator Creek. This 1990s-era topography reveals a rural landscape still marked by traditional land use, from the quiet Cem near the residential clusters to the isolated Roadside Park along the highway corridor. Small stream branches like Slit Branch and Pond Branch emphasize the complex drainage patterns common to the Florida Panhandle.
