1973 Map of Crestview South

About this map

The Shoal River corridor dominates the center of this Okaloosa County landscape, marking the transition between the growing southern edge of Crestview and the expansive military reservation to the south. During the early 1970s, the northern portion of the map shows a community in development, characterized by several claypits and sandpits, the Crestview Country Club, and social markers like the Friendship Ch and a Drive-in Theater. The southern half is defined by the northern reaches of Eglin Air Force Base, where the landscape shifts from private holdings to military infrastructure.
