About this map

The Pea River and Little River mark the northern border of this Florida-Alabama borderland, where the landscapes of Walton and Holmes counties meet Geneva County. The settlement at Darlington serves as a central hub for a network of country roads, including Co Rd 181 E and Otter Pond Rd, that connect dispersed farmsteads and family landmarks. This area is defined by its distinct hydrography, featuring numerous cypress-dominated basins such as Porter Bay, Pikehole Bay, and Peavey Bay that dot the pine-covered uplands.

Genealogists and local historians can trace several significant burial sites throughout the region, from Limestone Cem in the north to Padgett Cem and Broxton Cem near the community of Leonia. The terrain is shaped by numerous water sources, including Weaver Springs and several ponds like Miller Pond and Alder Pond, which have historically dictated the placement of homesteads and agricultural activity in this rural Southern landscape.
