About this map

Escambia River meanders along the border of Florida and Alabama, anchoring a landscape defined by small settlements and rural creek systems. At the northern edge, Flomaton and South Flomaton sit just across the state line from the town of Century, reflecting the close-knit development of these border communities. The terrain is marked by numerous water bodies and tributaries that likely supported early industry, such as McCostill Mill Cr and Pritchett Mill Br, suggesting a history of water-powered milling.

Further south, the unincorporated communities of Bluff Springs and Byrneville are connected by a network of county roads and N Century Blvd. Notable local landmarks include Lake Stone, the Carlney Cem, and the small settlement of Sandy Hollow. The map reveals how the modern road network follows the drainage patterns of Canoe Cr and Mitchell Cr, preserving the historical footprint of the region's agricultural and timber-based growth.
