2021 Map of Bonifay

About this map

Bonifay serves as the focal point of this map, positioned at the crossing of major regional roads and home to the Holmes County Courthouse. The landscape surrounding the town is characterized by a complex network of shallow wetlands and seasonal basins known locally as bays, including Sand Path Bay, Lurkin Holland Bay, and the expansive Meetinghouse Bay. To the north, the settlement of Hoover Mill sits near the headwaters of Wrights Cr, reflecting the area's historical reliance on water-powered industry. The terrain is a mosaic of small drainage features like Gum Branch and Titi Br that feed into larger creeks. Genealogists may find interest in Still Cem and various family-named landmarks such as Tom Williams Bay and Pate Pond, which point to long-standing local land use and family holdings across the Florida Panhandle's pine-and-wetland interior.
