About this map

The Perdido River serves as the prominent natural boundary between Florida and Alabama, winding through a landscape defined by its network of minor tributaries and creek systems. Small rural hubs like Enon and Nuke anchor the area, which was meticulously updated in the early 1990s based on aerial surveys from the mid-1970s and 1980s. Local history and genealogy are anchored by landmarks such as Holly Grove Cem and Dry Springs Ch, alongside several water features like Brushy Creek and Reedy Creek that drain the timbered and agricultural interior.

Industrial activity is evidenced by a Claypit situated near the state line, while name-specific branches like Schoolhouse Branch and Buckeye Branch suggest a legacy of local landmarks and early homesteading. The map details the transition from the high grounds around Freeman Springs Br down to the river bottoms, capturing the settlement patterns of Escambia County and Baldwin County before modern expansion.
