About this map

The Blackwater River and Yellow River systems define the landscape of this Santa Rosa County corridor, where several small communities are connected by a network of rural roads and timberlands. Floridale sits at the center of this sheet, while Holt occupies the eastern edge along a major transportation route. The prevalence of water-associated landmarks, such as Riley Landing, Garnier Landing, and Sweetgum Landing, points to the historical importance of these riverbanks for commerce and local transit.

Genealogists and local historians can trace family-named features like Kellys Mill and Parkerville, or locate the New Canoe Cem south of Garnier Cr. The map also documents regional infrastructure including the George T Mc Cutchan Airport and the Yellow River Airstrip. From the quiet waters of B B Squirls Pond to the lowlands of Tarkiln Head Hollow, the map provides a look at the intersection of rural Florida life and the natural riverine environment.
