2024 Map of Blackman

About this map

The Blackwater River and its numerous tributaries, including Hurricane Creek and Panther Creek, define this rural landscape along the Florida-Alabama border. In the north, the Conecuh National Forest spans the state line, while the southern half of the map reveals the small settlements of Blackman and Escambia Farms. Genealogists will find significant local history in several family-named burial sites, such as Red Oak Cem, Clements Cem, Good Hope Cem, and Cotton Cem. The local infrastructure is characterized by a dense network of named dirt and county roads like State Line Rd and Kennedy Bridge Rd, serving isolated farms and the Triple R Ranch Airport. This modern survey details how family-owned lands and named ponds like E C Youngblood Pond continue to shape the geography of northern Okaloosa County.
