2018 Map of De Funiak Springs West

About this map

Cosson Mill and the surrounding pine-rich lowlands of Walton County define the landscape of this 2018 survey. The area is characterized by a series of south-flowing drainages, including Alaqua Cr and Sconiers Mill Cr, which historically supported local industry as evidenced by the namesake mill settlements and Sconiers Mill Pond. The mapping shows the western edge of De Funiak Springs, where the transition from residential development near Lake Stanley gives way to more rural holdings. Local genealogists will find several landmarks associated with community life, such as Steele Church and Oak Ridge Cem. Infrastructure like the DeFuniak Springs Airport and Emerald Coast Technical College mark the modern economic hubs, while the network of unpaved roads like Nowling Rd and Bear Head Rd suggests the enduring rural character of the Florida Panhandle's interior.
