About this map

Holmes Creek winds through the southern landscape near Vernon, a region defined by an intricate network of wetlands, bays, and ponds. The settlement pattern is characterized by rural crossroads such as Johnson Crossroad and Brock Crossroad, and the named community of Poplar Head. Family-named landmarks and water features are prevalent throughout, including Cooks Mill Pond, Pettis Pond, and Brunner Pond, reflecting a long history of local land use and resource management.

Elevations vary across the terrain with prominent features like Poplar Head Hill, Chalk Hill, and Haddock Hill rising above the surrounding flats. Distinctive island and garden names such as Beech Island, Red Oak Island, and Devils Garden point to the unique ecological pockets found within the extensive bay systems like Boggy Bay and Thompson Bay. The road network, including Douglas Ferry Rd and Yates Settlement Rd, connects these remote locales to larger centers like Bonifay to the north.
