About this map

Hurricane Lake and the dense drainage networks of the Florida panhandle define this section of the state line. The landscape is marked by the transition from the Conecuh National Forest in Alabama southward into the timberlands of Santa Rosa and Okaloosa Counties. Small settlements and local landmarks like Belandville, Santa Maria, and Rock Creek are scattered across the terrain, connected by a network of timber and access roads such as Belandville Rd and Kennedy Bridge Rd.

The hydrography of the region is particularly dense, with numerous branches like Sweetwater Creek, Bear Br, and Mincy Br feeding the larger systems. Genealogists and local historians will note the presence of Hobbs Cem and the Blackwater Airfield near the southern boundary. The Florida National Scenic Trail winds through the eastern half of the map, providing a continuous path through the varied wetlands and forests that characterize this Gulf Coastal Plain environment.
