1973 Map of McLellan

About this map

Blackwater River State Forest dominates this landscape along the Florida-Alabama border, where the terrain is defined by a dense network of creek drainages and wetlands. Small rural communities and timber-related sites are scattered throughout, including Sellersville in the north and McLellan near the eastern boundary. The presence of an Old Railroad Grade and numerous tracks like Notch Road suggest the region's history of logging and transport. Local genealogy is well-represented through several family and community landmarks, such as Black Cem, Stump Spring Ch, and McLellan Ch. From the Callaway Swamp to the many branches feeding Big Coldwater Creek, the map provides an intricate look at the hydrology of Santa Rosa County before modern development patterns emerged.
