About this map

Blackwater River State Forest dominates this section of the Florida Panhandle, characterized by a complex network of freshwater branches and creeks in northern Santa Rosa County. The small community of Spring Hill serves as a central landmark, supported by the presence of several local burial grounds including Sullivan Cem and the Old Spring Hill Cem. The terrain is defined by the drainage systems of Big Coldwater Creek and Big Juniper Creek, which carve through the timberlands.

Evidence of historical industrial activity is found in the Old Railroad Grade and several mill sites, such as Earnest Mill Creek and Spring Mill Creek, indicating a landscape once heavily utilized for logging and processing. Near the northern edge, educational and surveillance infrastructure is noted with the Munson High Sch and a prominent Lookout Tower, reflecting the forest management priorities of the early 1970s.
