1978 Map of Cantonment

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

The Escambia River corridor defines the eastern boundary of this landscape, where oxbows like Waldorf Lake and Boone Lake surround Brosnaham Island. This late-1970s survey, with updates from the mid-1980s, reveals a transitional zone between industrial operations and growing residential pockets. The Burlington Northern and CSX railroads facilitate heavy industry, evidenced by the numerous claypits and large industrial waste ponds near Cantonment. Small communities like Farm Hill, Gonzalez, and Ensley are established alongside a network of local institutions, including Ransom Sch and several country churches. To the south, the U S Naval Reservation and landmarks like the Langley-Bell 4-H Center point to the area's diverse land use, while cemeteries such as Santa Marie Cem Ch and Jordan Cem offer vital markers for genealogical research.
