About this map

Poarch and Freemanville anchor this 2014 survey of the Alabama-Florida borderlands, where the landscape is defined by the winding course of the Perdido River and its numerous tributaries. This modern record of Escambia and Baldwin counties illustrates a transition from the agricultural operations of Ewing Farms to the northern outskirts of Atmore. The map is particularly useful for genealogical research, documenting several local burial grounds including the Poarch Mission Cem, Judson Cem, and Nokomis Church Cem.

Industrial and transport infrastructure is evident in the path of Interstate 65 cutting across the terrain, which contrasts with the rural character of areas like Mount Gillis and the Sturdy Oak Farm Airport. Water features like Patterson Lake and the various branches such as Hog Br and Turkeypen Br provide a detailed look at the drainage patterns that have historically influenced settlement and land use in this part of the state.
