2015 Map of Bruce

About this map

Choctawhatchee River winding and braided channels define this portion of the Florida Panhandle, creating a complex network of waterways like East River and Boston Cutoff. The landscape is a mosaic of low-lying islands such as East River Island and Cowford Island, interspersed with numerous named lakes including Crews Lake and Stealing Lake. Settlement is concentrated along the higher ground and major road corridors, with Bruce in the north and Ebro to the east, while Pine Log sits further south near the confluence of Pine Log Creek and Threemile Br. Local history is embedded in the road names, from Old Gristmill Rd to Gunlock Cemetery Rd, reflecting the rural industrial and commemorative markers of the region. The Florida National Scenic Trail traverses the eastern side, highlighting the area's importance for modern recreation alongside traditional river-bound landmarks like Howell Bluff.
