2012 Map of McDavid

About this map

The Escambia River carves a winding path through this corner of Florida, creating a complex wetland environment of oxbows and inlets such as Horseshoe Lake and Brown Lake. Historically centered around river and rail, the landscape is dotted with small settlements like McDavid, Bogia, and Barth. The map documents a rural corridor where legacy transport is evident in the proximity of Railroad St to the river's edge. Local genealogy is well-preserved through several family and community landmarks, including Coon Hill Cem and Juniper Cem. Significant water features like Chumuckla Springs and Mineral Springs highlight the hydrologic character of the basin. The presence of the Collier/Pine Barren Airpark and the crossings at Wiggins Bridge illustrate the modern connectivity of this wooded river valley.
