About this map

The Alabama Florida state line bisects this landscape, where the Pea River and Choctawhatchee River define the local topography. The region is characterized by numerous bays and ponds, including Eldridge Bay and Rock Pond, interspersed with rural settlements and crossroads. This 1982 map (field checked in the late 1970s) captures the persistence of small community hubs like Royals Crossroads and Sweet Gum Head.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of family and community landmarks, such as Beulah Anna Ch, McDuffie Cem, and the Merrill Cem. The riverfront along the south reveals localized industry and transport history at Old Warehouse Landing near Bearpen Bend. The network of creeks, such as Pittman Creek and Hurricane Creek, illustrates the intricate drainage patterns that have shaped land use and property boundaries across both Holmes and Geneva counties for generations.
