About this map

The Blackwater River State Forest dominates this landscape along the Florida-Alabama border, where the convergence of Coldwater Creek and the Big Fork creates a complex network of wetlands and tributaries. The timber and transit history of the region is evident in the Old Railroad Grade and numerous tracks like Three Notch that wind through the pine woods. Small rural communities are anchored by local landmarks such as McLellan Ch and the isolated Sellersville Cem.

Genealogists and local historians can trace family ties through several named burial sites, including Black Cem and the Concord Cem near Concord Ch. The terrain transitions from the upland pine forests near McLellan down into the dense hydric environment of Calloway Swamp, reflecting the classic Gulf Coastal Plain topography before modern development altered much of the Florida Panhandle's interior.
