Surveying in Escambia County
Escambia County is Florida's westernmost county, bordering Alabama, and its survey history includes Spanish, British, and American colonial-era land grants. Original property descriptions may reference the Spanish arpent system rather than the standard U.S. township and range system.
Pensacola Beach sits on Santa Rosa Island, a narrow barrier island where hurricane damage from Ivan (2004) and Sally (2020) has repeatedly reshaped the coastline. Post-storm boundary re-establishment and elevation surveys remain in high demand.
NAS Pensacola, one of the Navy's most historic installations, generates specialized survey requirements for military construction projects that must comply with both Florida survey standards and federal specifications.
