2020 Map of Shipps Creek

About this map

Boykin sits at the intersection of a complex rural road and drainage network in this recent survey of Escambia County. The landscape is defined by its watercourses, including the westward flow of Shipps Cr and the winding Bethel Mill Cr in the south, which drain the timberlands and rural tracts of this region. Family names and local history are reflected in the road network and landmarks, such as Still Cem near the junction of Damascus Rd and Limberpine Rd. The map details numerous access routes through the wooded terrain, from Goulsby Farm Rd to the various branches of Truck Trl 11, highlighting the area's continued reliance on forestry and local transit. This survey records the contemporary boundaries of townships T3N and T2N as they meet across the central plains of the quadrangle.
