About this map

Holmes Creek winds through the heart of this Florida panhandle landscape, defining the boundaries of local life and the natural environment. Small settlements such as New Hope, Live Oak, and the eponymous Millers Ferry are connected by a network of rural routes like Holmes Valley Rd and George Skipper Rd. The area is densely saturated with ponds and sloughs, including Warmouth Lake, Big Brushy Lake, and Running Lake, illustrating the low-lying, hydrologically active nature of the terrain near the Washington and Walton county line.

Local history is preserved in several small burial grounds, including Miller Cem, Weeks Cem, and Wilcox Cem, which serve as permanent records of the families that established these communities. The presence of the Holmes Creek Recreational Trl highlights how the waterway continues to serve the region, while landmarks like Sherfield Bend and Bear Ridge provide distinct geographical markers in a landscape of winding creeks and cypress-heavy wetlands.
