1982 Map of Millers Ferry

About this map

Holmes Creek meanders through the heart of this Florida landscape, defining a region rich with cypress ponds and small rural congregations. The settlement of Millers Ferry and nearby New Hope serve as the primary land-based anchors in an area where water profoundly shaped local life. Small community landmarks such as St Johns Ch and St Lukes Ch are scattered across the terrain, alongside family-named cemeteries including Weeks Cem and Dunn-Raley Cem. The influence of old industries is visible in labels like Mill Pond, Mill Branch, and Mill Lake, suggesting a history of local milling operations along the creek's tributaries. Numerous landings, such as Shell Landing and Spring Run Landing, indicate the importance of the river for transport and access in the late 1970s.
