About this map

The Yellow River winds through the heart of the Florida Panhandle, defining a landscape of riverine bluffs and low-lying wetlands. Along its banks, prominent elevations such as Metts Bluff, Wilkinson Bluff, and Rattlesnake Bluff provide relief from the surrounding bottomlands. The settlement of Holt and the smaller community at Galliver serve as local hubs, connected by the modern corridor of Interstate 10 and the older Us 90 Connector Trl.

Genealogists and local historians can find several established burial grounds, including Holt Cem, Beulah Cem, and Carr Cem, while the aviation history of the region is represented by the Yellow River Airstrip and the Eglin Test Site B6 Airport. In the northeast, the convergence of the Yellow River and Shoal River near Milligan highlights the historical importance of these waterways for transport and early settlement. Tributaries like Turkey Gobbler Cr and Tigetail Branch feed into the main river system, while isolated water bodies like Lost Boy Pond and Duck Pond dot the eastern reaches.
