About this map

Bonifay serves as the focal point of this Northwest Florida survey, situated at the intersection of local routes and the L & N RR. The landscape is defined by its complex hydrography, characterized by numerous "bays"—low-lying wetland depressions typical of the region—such as Bear Bay, Meetinghouse Bay, and Eighty Acre Bay. These features, along with winding watercourses like Wrights Cr and Gum Branch, shaped the early settlement patterns and road networks of Holmes County.

Evidence of early rural infrastructure remains visible through labels like Hoover Mill and the Still Cem. The importance of local education and community connectivity is preserved in the naming of Old Liberty School Rd and Liberty School Rd. To the south, the map documents the transition into Washington County, marked by Sun Lake and the Sand Path Bay area, providing a detailed view of the terrain before further modern development.
