2015 Map of Holt

About this map

The Yellow River and Shoal River converge in this section of the Florida Panhandle, defining a landscape of wetlands and prominent river elevations. Settled areas like Holt and Galliver are situated north of the river basins, connected by a network of timber-era roads such as Keyser Mill Rd and Saw Mill Rd. The map documents a blend of recreation and military presence, featuring a segment of the Florida National Scenic Trail winding through the river valley, while the Eglin Test Site B6 Airport and Yellow River Airstrip mark the southern reach of the territory. Notable bluffs, including Wilkinson Bluff and Rattlesnake Bluff, overlook the meandering waterways. Genealogists can locate several local burial sites, such as Beulah Cem and Carr Cem, which remain as lasting markers of the rural communities established along these Northwest Florida riverbanks.
