About this map

Choctawhatchee Bay and the Gulf of Mexico define this coastal landscape in Walton County, split by the Intracoastal Waterway. The northern shore is anchored by the community of Choctaw Beach, where a grid of residential streets like Sycamore Dr and Persimmon St meets the water at Big Hammock Point. This area is characterized by small tributaries and ponds, including Sharon Lake and Foster Burgess Pond, which drain into Grassy Cove.

South across the bay, the geography shifts toward the developed peninsula of Miramar Beach. This southern reach is deeply indented by a series of significant bayous, such as Hogtown Bayou, Mussett Bayou, and Buck Bayou. The map illustrates a complex network of coastal development, ranging from the structured streets around Fourmile Point to the wetlands surrounding Fuller Lake and Stewart Lake near the gulf's edge.
