2024 Map of Bratt

About this map

Bratt and the surrounding agricultural landscape of northern Escambia County sit just south of the Alabama-Florida border. This region is defined by its network of winding waterways, including the prominent Pine Barren Creek, Beaverdam Creek, and Canoe Creek. The settlement pattern centers on small community hubs like Oak Grove and Walnut Hill, which are anchored by long-standing spiritual and burial grounds. Genealogists will find interest in the proximity of family and community landmarks such as Big Pine Barren Baptist Church, Godwin Cem, and the Union Primitive Baptist Church located near the headwaters of Little Pine Barren Creek. The road network, including Co Rd 99 and Pine Barren Rd, follows the contours of the drainage basins, connecting the scattered farms and homesteads that have long occupied this corner of the Florida Panhandle.
