2015 Map of Ward Basin
USGS Topo · Published 2015About this map
Blackwater Bay and the complex delta of the Yellow River define this Florida coastal landscape, where the river splits into multiple channels including the Weaver River and Dead River. The area maintains a significant military presence with the Santa Rosa Naval Outlying Field in the north and the Choctaw Naval Outlying Field to the south. Small settlements like Ward Basin, Pine Bluff, and Broxson are scattered across a terrain marked by deep hollows such as Alabama Hollow and Persimmon Hollow. This 2015 survey provides essential detail for genealogists, showing local burial grounds including Welcome Cem, Friendship Cem, and Williams Memorial Cem. The map traces a mix of modern infrastructure and natural waterways, from the Petersen Point shoreline to the interior swamps of Cat Island Lake.
