2018 Map of Fidelis

About this map

Fidelis and its surrounding rural communities in northern Santa Rosa County sit at a geographic crossroads where Florida meets the Alabama border. This landscape is defined by the headwaters of the Juniper Creek and West Fork Big Coldwater Creek systems, which create a dense network of drainage branches through the timber and agricultural lands. Small settlements such as Berrydale, Whitfield, and Cobbtown are connected by a web of local routes including Country Mill Road and Dixonville Road. Cultural landmarks like the Old Fidelis Cemetery and Crossroads Cemetery provide anchor points for genealogists tracking local family histories. The presence of the Thomas Farms Airport and numerous private ponds, such as James Thomas Pond, reflects the modern rural-industrial character of the panhandle interior, where aviation and water management support regional land use.
