1949 Map of Millers Ferry

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

Holmes Creek winds through this landscape on the boundary of Washington and Holmes counties, defining the region's geography before it meets the Choctawhatchee R. In the late 1940s, the settlement at Millers Ferry and nearby New Hope anchored a community of rural schools and churches, including Brink-Hill Sch and St Lukes Sch. The map reveals a densely patterned system of named water bodies like Warmouth Pond and Big Brushy Pond, which suggest a terrain of lowland basins and cypress strands typical of the Florida Panhandle. Local history is preserved in small landmarks such as Miller Cem and Liberty Ch, while topographic features like Sheffield Bend and Bear Ridge illustrate how the serpentine creek shaped the available land for agriculture and settlement during this era.
