1970 Map of Choctaw Beach

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

Choctaw Beach occupies the northern shoreline of Choctawhatchee Bay in this early 1970s survey, showing a landscape defined by the proximity of Eglin Air Force Base. The northern half of the map is dominated by military reservation lands, where creeks like Piney Creek and Mullet Creek drain southward into Grassy Cove. Along the coastline, the Intracoastal Waterway cuts through the bay, while the southern shore is marked by a series of deep inlets including Buck Bayou, Mack Bayou, and the large Hogtown Bayou. Small coastal lakes such as Sharon Lake and Horseshoe Lake sit near the water's edge, separated by narrow stretches of land. This era shows the developed Fort Rucker Recreation Area and Roadside Park serving as recreational hubs along the bay shore, providing a look at the integration of military facilities and public coastal access during this period of Florida's Panhandle history.
