About this map

The Perdido River forms the winding boundary between Florida and Alabama, carving through a landscape of creek-fed timberlands and small agricultural clearings. During the late 1970s and early 1980s, this area of Escambia County and neighboring Baldwin County was characterized by its network of named waterways, including Freeman Springs Br and Brushy Creek. The settlement of Enon serves as a local hub, featuring a Water Tank and nearby excavations such as the Claypit to the north.

Local landmarks and heritage sites are scattered across the terrain, reflecting the rural community life of the era. Genealogists and researchers can identify the Holly Grove Cem and Dry Springs Ch, alongside several family-named drainage features like Helverson Branch and Dreddin Branch. The presence of the La Floresta Perdida Airport in the southeast corner indicates the specialized use of the land, while several pipelines crossing the terrain highlight the regional infrastructure during this period of development.
