About this map

Murder Creek and its many winding tributaries define the landscape north of Brewton during this 2014 survey of Escambia County. The map shows a transition from the urban grid of the county seat, where streets like Escambia Ave and McMillan Ave provide structure, into a rural hinterland characterized by timbered drainages and family-named landmarks. The confluence of Juniper Creek and Burnt Corn Creek near Tippins Eddy highlights the importance of these waterways to the local topography.

Genealogists will find several notable burial sites including Calvary Cemetery and Zion Church Cemetery, alongside the smaller Weaver Cemetery near the community of Appleton. The abundance of small, named water bodies such as Perrys Lake, Lake McMillan, and W R Sherrer Lake indicates a region of managed ponds and natural basins. Transportation is anchored by Appleton Road and the central highway corridor, connecting outlying settlements like Kirkland to the southern hub.
