About this map

The Escambia River defines the eastern boundary of this survey, carving a complex path of wetlands and oxbows through the borderlands of Florida and Alabama. This 2018 topographic study captures the northern reaches of Escambia County, where the historic timber and rail hub of Century sits just south of Flomaton and the state line. The landscape is a network of small creeks and branches, including Pritchell Mill Br and Canoe Cr, which drain into larger bodies like Lake Stone and the sprawling river basin.

Smaller rural settlements like Byrneville and Bluff Springs are connected by a grid of county roads, while the local genealogy is anchored by sites such as Cartney Cem near Cartney Lake. The terrain transitions from the higher ground near Gandyville to the low-lying hammocks and lakes such as Williams Lake and Bluff Springs Lake, reflecting the traditional agricultural and riverine character of the Panhandle interior.
