About this map

Ponce de Leon serves as the focal point of this Northwest Florida survey, situated where the high ground of Gopher Ridge and Sheep Hill meets the complex wetlands of the Choctawhatchee River basin. The settlement is anchored by a traditional grid including Railroad St and Government St, reflecting its position along the regional rail corridor. To the south, the landscape is defined by the winding Morrison Spring Run and the notable Morrison Spring, a clear-water hydrological feature that contrasts with the tea-colored waters of the nearby river.

Rural life is mapped through family-named landmarks and high points like Ray Hill and Saint Paul Hill. Settlements at Douglass Crossroads and Knox Hill are connected by a network of local routes such as Ammons Rd and Jack Brown Dr. The presence of the Ponce de Leon Cem and Hardy Cem provides valuable points of reference for genealogists tracing local families in this part of Holmes and Walton counties.
