About this map

The southern edge of Crestview transitions into the expansive military lands of Eglin Air Force Base in this 1970s survey. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Shoal River, which serves as a natural boundary between the developing town and the rural, industrial, and military sectors to the south. Significant aviation infrastructure is visible at Aux Field No 3, where both Duke North Base and Duke South Base are detailed alongside a large Sewage Disposal facility.

Community life is reflected in several country churches, including Friendship Ch, Canaan Ch, and Live Oak Ch, while the region's extraction history is evidenced by numerous Claypits and Sandpits scattered across the terrain. Notable local landmarks from the mid-century era include a Drive-in Theater and the Crestview Country Club, providing a clear picture of the area’s social and economic geography before later 20th-century expansions.
