About this map

The Escambia River defines the landscape of this Florida panhandle quadrangle, carving a wide, wetland-rich valley that separates Escambia and Santa Rosa counties. Along the western terrace, the historic communities of McDavid, Bogia, Pine Barren, and Barth align with the rail and road corridor now marked by N Century Blvd and S Century Blvd. This area is characterized by its numerous water bodies, including the serpentine Cotton Creek and Moore Creek, as well as the secluded Chumuckla Springs Mineral Springs located deep within the river bottomlands.

Local genealogy is well-represented through several rural burial grounds such as Coon Hill Cem, Juniper Cem, and Morgan Cem. The map illustrates a transition from the aviation-related Collier/Pine Barren Airpark to the natural terrain of Parker Island and Brown Lake. These features, connected by a network of landings like Sandy Landing Rd and Keyser Landing Rd, reflect a long-standing relationship between the upland settlements and the vital river system.
