2024 Map of Parker Springs

About this map

Conecuh National Forest dominates the landscape of this Escambia County survey, where a dense network of creek branches and springs defines the rural terrain. The area is characterized by family-named landmarks and cemeteries, suggesting a lineage of deep local roots along the ridges and hollows. The Rock Creek Apostolic Community Church and the adjacent Rock Creek Church Cem serve as a central cultural anchor in the southern portion of the sheet. Notable water features include the Leon-Brooks-Hines Lake and the engineered Brackens Ditch, which redirect the natural drainage of Sweetwater Creek and School House Creek. The settlement at Parker Springs and the numerous small burial grounds, such as Mancil Cem and Sam McGowin Cem, provide essential evidence for genealogists and local historians tracing the settlement patterns of this forested region near the Alabama-Florida border.
