About this map

Halls Still and Darlington anchor this mid-century look at northern Walton County, where the Florida panhandle meets the Alabama border. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of wetlands and minor watercourses, including Big Swamp and Cypress Drains, which drain south toward Narrows. The settlement pattern reflects a rural economy rooted in turpentine and timber, evidenced by the presence of Halls Still and numerous family-named landmarks like Danley Hill and Bear Pen Island. Local genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of numerous rural congregations and burial grounds, such as Limestone Ch, Limestone Cem, and Collinsworth Ch, which served as the social centers for these isolated agricultural communities. The northern edge of the sheet shows the transition into the Conecuh National Forest across the state line, while the interior is dotted with dozens of small, isolated ponds and springs like Weaver Springs and Punch Bowl Pond.
