About this map

The city of Bonifay sits as the central hub of this mid-century survey, positioned where the Louisville And Nashville railroad intersects with major regional routes like the Old Spanish Trail and the Geneva Highway. The landscape is characterized by a high density of depression wetlands and bays, including Meetinghouse Bay, Moccasin Bay, and the large Sand Path Bay southwest of the city center.

Rural life in Holmes County is evidenced by numerous local gathering points such as New Smyrna Ch, Mt Olive Ch, and Liberty Ch, along with educational landmarks like Live Oak Sch and its associated Live Oak Sch Cemetery. Industrial footprints are sparse but significant, notably Hoover Mill on Wrights Creek. The survey captures the intricate drainage patterns of the Florida Panhandle, where numerous tributaries like Gum Creek and Camp Branch weave through a terrain defined by named bayous and swamps.
