1994 Map of Harold

About this map

The Blackwater River dominates this portion of Santa Rosa County, winding through the Blackwater River State Forest and a series of expansive wetlands including Manning Basin and Cooper Basin. In the mid-1990s, the landscape was a mix of conservation land and military infrastructure, anchored by the presence of the Whiting Field U S Naval Air Sta and Milton T Field. The settlement of Harold sits at the intersection of the regional road and rail network, while the smaller community of Roeville lies further west. Notable landmarks for local history include the Coldwater Lookout Tower and Pleasant Home Church, which speak to the area's forestry roots and early community centers. Outdoor recreation is represented by the Heritage State Trail and Blackwater River State Park, showing the evolving use of the river corridor.
