2012 Map of Century

About this map

The Escambia River meanders through the eastern portion of this landscape, its intricate oxbows and wetlands defining the border between Florida and Alabama. This 2012 survey captures a rural network of farm-to-market roads and small settlements situated on the high ground above the river's floodplain. Bluff Springs and Byrneville serve as central points for local commerce and community life, while Gandyville and South Flomaton sit at the northern edge near the state line. Genealogists and local historians will find the Carlney Cem positioned in the southeast, a quiet marker of the area's established families. The geography is further characterized by numerous water bodies like Lake Stone, Salters Lake, and Bluff Springs Lake, alongside several namesake drainages including McCostill Mill Cr and Pritchell Mill Br that hint at the region's milling history.
