About this map

Ponce de Leon serves as the central hub of this Holmes County landscape, situated at a junction where the L & N RR and Old Hwy 90 intersect. The area's geography is defined by a dense network of water features, including the notable Ponce de Leon Spring and Jackson Spring, which feed into the winding Sandy Creek system. Further south, the map details the Morrison Spring and its surrounding wetlands near the border with Washington County.

Rural life is documented through scattered settlements and family-named landmarks like Douglass Crossroads and Saint Paul Hill. Genealogists will find the locations of the Ponce de Leon Cem and Hardy Cem useful for tracing local family roots. The terrain varies from the low-lying reaches of Jack Bay to the elevations of Long Pond Hill and Sheep Hill, illustrating the varied topography that shaped the timber and agricultural development of the Florida Panhandle.
