About this map

The Escambia River meanders through this portion of the Florida Panhandle, serving as the natural boundary between Escambia and Santa Rosa counties. The landscape is defined by the river’s wide floodplain, featuring oxbows like Horseshoe Lake and Brown Lake, alongside several springs including Chumuckla Springs. Running parallel to the waterway, the Louisville and Nashville railroad anchors a string of small communities from McDavid in the north down through Bogia, Pine Barren, and Barth. These settlements reflect a late 1970s rural economy supported by local industries such as a Claypit near the tracks and agricultural activity. Small family landmarks and local heritage sites are scattered throughout the wooded terrain, including Rays Chapel and several burial sites like Coon Hill and Juniper Cem. Significant creek systems, such as Canoe Creek and Moore Creek, feed into the main river channel, highlighting the complex drainage of this lowland area.
