1973 Map of Crestview North

About this map

Crestview serves as the focal point of this survey, showing a period of significant municipal expansion and infrastructure development in Okaloosa County. The map documents the residential grid south of the L & N RR tracks, where streets like Main St and Ferdon St form the commercial core near the City Hall and Po. To the north, the landscape transitions into the wooded tracts of the Blackwater River State Forest, following the winding course of the Yellow River and its numerous tributaries such as Tidwell Mill Creek and Buckhannon Branch. Local industry and community landmarks are well-represented, from the Bob Sikes Airport on the eastern edge to Silver Lake and the Sap Ponds. For genealogists, the map preserves the locations of several rural burial grounds and congregations, including Reeder Cem and New Bethel Ch.
