2011 Map of Oak Grove

About this map

The Yellow River flows southward through this corner of the Florida panhandle, anchoring a rural landscape defined by creek drainage and small family settlements. Near the center of the sheet, the village of Oak Grove sits at the junction of Hwy-2 and Old River Rd, while the community of Peaden lies further south. The land is heavily partitioned by local branches and creeks, including the evocative Murder Creek and Big Horse Creek. For family historians, the abundance of well-marked burial grounds provides significant research value, with Newell Cemetery, Rock Hill Cemetery, Stewart Cemetery, Clary Cemetery, Ebenezer Cemetery, and Reeder Cemetery all scattered throughout the quadrant. This area, just south of the Alabama border, remains characterized by its network of named local roads like Yellow River Baptist Church Rd and Moores Mill Creek Rd, which suggest the historic locations of early gathering places and industry.
