2011 Map of Freemanville

About this map

Poarch and the surrounding Escambia County landscape are defined by a network of rural settlements and family-named infrastructure in the early 21st century. The geography is primarily structured around the drainages of Perdido Creek and Brushy Creek, which feed into the Perdido River at the map's southern edge. This area is a critical location for local genealogy, preserving numerous burial sites such as the Poarch Mission Cemetery, Judson Cemetery, and the Sullivan Cemetery. Industrial and agricultural activity is evident through the presence of the Perdido Oil Field and Ewing Farms, while water management is represented by the Marshall Patterson Dam on Patterson Lake. The settlement patterns at Freemanville and Nokomis show the continued importance of community hubs centered around local roads and churches.
