2015 Map of Bennett

About this map

Econfina Creek and its surrounding wetlands dominate this 2015 survey of the Florida panhandle, where the boundary between Washington County and Bay County crosses a landscape of diverse ponds and basins. The small settlements of Econfina and Bennett serve as local anchors in a region defined by complex hydrology, including the wide Swift Creek Swamp and numerous named water bodies like Hammock Lake, Sparkleberry Lake, and the Whitewater Lakes. Local heritage is preserved at the Gainer Cemetery and Porter Cemetery, while modern recreation is represented by the Florida National Scenic Trail as it winds through the woods. The network of rural routes, such as Greenhead Road and Blue Springs Road, connects historic landings like Sweet Gum Landing to the interior, reflecting a long-standing relationship between these North Florida communities and their waterways.
