About this map

Blackwater River State Forest dominates this section of Santa Rosa County, where the landscape is defined by an intricate network of waterways draining toward the Gulf. The small community of Spring Hill is the primary settlement, serving as a focal point for researchers interested in local genealogy, particularly with the presence of the Old Spring Hill Cem and Sullivan Cem.

Industry and transport of the early-to-mid 20th century are visible through the Old Railroad Grade and several mill-related water features, including Rattlesnake Mill Creek and Earnest Mill Creek. The drainage patterns are exceptionally detailed, showing the convergence of Big Coldwater Creek and Big Juniper Creek as they cut through the forest. Evidence of local infrastructure includes the Munson High Sch and a Lookout Tower, reflecting the region's managed timber and rural education history.
