About this map

De Funiak Springs serves as the hub of this Northwest Florida landscape during the mid-1930s, defined by its perfectly circular lake and the convergence of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad and the Old Spanish Trail. The town's grid expands outward toward the Magnolia Cem and the De Funiak Country Club, while the surrounding countryside is a network of small schoolhouses and churches that anchored rural life.

South of the Tallahassee Base Line, the terrain transitions into the dense Choctawhatchee Nat For, where numerous creeks like Alaqua Creek and Bruce Creek wind toward the coast. Genealogists can trace family footprints through community sites such as Indian Head Sch, Siloam Chapel, and the settlement of Portland near the southern marshes. The map also captures infrastructure of the era, including the Old Walton Bridge and the Pine Allen Bridge.
