2015 Map of Prosperity

About this map

Arrant Settlement and Baker Settlement anchor this portion of Holmes County, reflecting a landscape defined by small clusters of community and family-named landmarks. The terrain is marked by a high density of water features, from the flowing Choctawhatchee River and its associated Cork Slough to numerous named ponds and springs such as Vortex Spring and Blue Spring. Local genealogy is preserved in the location of the Pleasant Ridge Cem near Pleasant Ridge, while the regional topography is punctuated by distinctive rises like Hudson Hill and Slaughter Hill. The network of local roads, including N Highway 81 and N Highway 181, connects these interior settlements to established points like Cerrogordo and Prosperity, illustrating the persistent rural character of the Florida Panhandle during the early twenty-first century.
