About this map

The Perdido River forms a natural border between Florida and Alabama in this late 1970s record of Escambia County. The landscape is defined by the rural settlements of Pineville and Walnut Hill, where the local economy and social life were centered around timber and small-scale agriculture. The infrastructure of the era is evident through the St Louis - San Francisco rail line and a prominent Pipeline cutting across the terrain.

Genealogists and local historians can find specifically mapped landmarks such as Antioch Ch, Halls Fork Ch, and the associated Antioch Cem. The presence of several Claypits and a Gaging Sta near Brushy Creek points to the industrial and environmental management of the Florida Panhandle during this period. Extensive water networks including Reedy Branch and Hubbard Creek demonstrate the complex drainage of the Gulf Coastal Plain.
