About this map

Crestview expansion and the vast footprint of Eglin Air Force Base define the landscape of south Okaloosa County during the mid-1990s. The northern portion of the sheet shows the southern edges of the city, including the Crestview Country Club and the residential growth near Brook Ave. Industrial activity is evident in the numerous claypits and sandpits dotting the hillsides, particularly near Interchange 12 and the central ridge.

South of the Shoal River, the map is dominated by military installations, specifically Aux Field No 3 with its runways and support structures at Duke North Base and Duke South Base. This region is a complex network of wetlands and small watercourses like Titi Creek and Turkey Hen Creek. For the local historian, the map preserves the locations of rural community centers like Friendship Ch, Canaan Ch, and Live Oak Ch, which stand as landmarks amidst the timberlands and federal reservations.
