1994 Map of McDavid

About this map

The Escambia River meanders through a broad wetland basin along the border of Escambia and Santa Rosa counties, dominating the eastern half of this landscape. In the mid-1990s, the western uplands supported small settlements like McDavid, Bogia, and Barth, which grew along the north-south transportation corridor. This area reveals a transition from industrial and recreational land use, including the Champion International State Wildlife Management Area and various resource sites like a claypit and gravel pits, to quiet family landmarks. Genealogists may find value in the specific locations of several rural burial grounds, such as Coon Hill Cem and Juniper Cem, while water-based features like Chitmuckla Springs and Cotton Lake indicate the importance of the river system to the local environment and community life.
