About this map

Agricultural and forestry operations define this section of Escambia County, centered on the community of Huxford. The landscape is shaped by the presence of the Little River State Forest in the northwest and the expansive Edward Hauss State Forest Nursery further south. These managed lands sit alongside the massive Atmore State Prison Farm, which dominates the southwestern quadrant of the sheet with its grid of roads and support facilities, including a Radio Tower and Beacon.

Transportation through the region follows both active and legacy corridors, with the Burlington Northern railroad running north-south through town while an Old Railroad Grade suggests a shift in local transit patterns. Local genealogy is rooted in small rural gatherings at Huxford Ch, Sardis Ch, and Pleasant Grove Ch, with the Miller Cem and other burial sites marking family histories in the surrounding countryside. Drainage across the rolling hills is managed by creeks such as Chitterling Creek and Wet Weather Creek.
