1934 Map of Harold

About this map

The Blackwater River and Yellow River carve through the panhandle interior of Santa Rosa County in this mid-1930s survey. The landscape is defined by the logistics of the timber and transport era, centered on the Louisville and Nashville railroad corridor which passes through the settlement of Harold. Along the riverbanks, numerous landings like Flowers Field Landing and Race Track Landing indicate a legacy of river-based commerce and travel. Rural life is anchored by local congregations at Pleasant Home Ch, Welcome Ch, and Hickory Hammock Ch. Further south, the Tallahassee Base Line serves as a critical surveying anchor for the region. Family history is etched into the terrain at the Old Land Place and Old Whitmier Place, while the Kelly Mill and several fire towers, including the Milligan Lookout Tower, reflect the local industrial and forestry management of the period.
