About this map

De Funiak Springs serves as the focal point of this 1930s survey, centered around its distinctive circular lake and the hub of the Louisville and Nashville railroad. The landscape reflects a deeply established rural community in Walton County, marked by a dense network of local schools and churches including Eucheanna Sch, Arcadia Sch, and Macedonia Ch. Transportation is defined by the historic Old Spanish Trail and several significant bridges like Pine Allen Bridge crossing the winding Alaqua Creek.

Local industry is represented by Cawthon Mill and Cosson Mill, which utilized the area's numerous water sources. To the south, the Tallahassee Base Line cuts across the terrain near Portland, where the geography transitions toward Lafayette Creek. This map preserves the locations of several family-named landmarks and cemeteries, such as Magnolia Cem and Hatcher Cem, providing essential data for genealogists studying this era of Florida's Panhandle.
