1994 Map of Milton South

About this map

The Blackwater River and Escambia Bay define the industrial and residential development of southern Santa Rosa County in the mid-1990s. The historic riverfront town of Milton and the nearby community of Bagdad serve as the primary hubs, with many smaller neighborhoods like Galt City and Avalon Beach extending toward the coast. Local family history is preserved in numerous burial grounds, including the Milton Cem and Black Hammock Cem, while spiritual life is anchored by churches such as Wilson Mem Ch and Mt Bethel Ch. The landscape shows a mix of maritime industry and aviation history, evidenced by an Abandoned Airfield and numerous boat ramps. The south-central portion of the map is dominated by the sprawling wetlands of the Yellow River Marsh State Aquatic Preserve, where dozens of winding waterways like Whiteoak Bayou and Trout Bayou feed into the larger bays.
