1935 Map of De Funiak Springs

About this map

De Funiak Springs serves as the focal point of this 1935 survey, situated along the Louisville and Nashville railroad and the Old Spanish Trail. The map documents a rural Florida landscape transitioning into the early aviation era, evidenced by the De Funiak Springs Landing Field and the De Funiak Country Club. To the north and west, the terrain rises toward Alpine Heights and Bear Head, while the southern reaches are defined by the Tallahassee Base Line and the winding course of Alaqua Creek. Local social life is mapped through several country schools like Indian Head Sch and Macedonia Sch, alongside community anchors like Magnolia Ch and the Magnolia Cem. The inclusion of Seckinger Mill and various named homesteads like Blount Place provides a detailed look at the scattered rural settlement patterns of Walton County before the mid-century expansion.
