About this map

Lake De Funiak serves as the focal point of De Funiak Springs, where the city's street grid, including Baldwin Ave and Sloss Ave, radiates from the perfectly circular water body. This 1973 survey shows the town as a well-established county seat, complete with its Courthouse, Magnolia Cem, and a local hospital. The Louisville and Nashville railroad runs parallel to the main thoroughfare, marking the industrial corridor that shaped the town's development.

South of the city, the landscape transitions into a network of creek branches and rural communities such as Eucheeanna and Argyle. The density of country churches, including Euchee Valley Ch, Gillis Chapel, and St Johns Ch, suggests a deeply rooted community structure throughout the Panhandle pine forests. Pockets of industry are evident in several Claypit and sandpit operations, while the southern boundary reaches the edge of Eglin Air Force Base.
