About this map

The community of Crystal Lake and the neighboring residential area of Crystal Village anchor this landscape along the border of Washington and Bay Counties. The region is defined by a dense cluster of karst-formed solution lakes, including the large Open Lake and the distinctive Compass Lake. These water bodies are surrounded by a network of local roads such as Shoreline Dr and Plantation Trl, which indicate significant residential development around the shorelines.

Beyond the settled areas, the terrain is dotted with smaller, uniquely named water features like Log Cart Pond, Court Martial Lake, and Shirt Tail Lake. Low-lying drainage patterns are visible through Long Lake Slough and Botheration Cr, while the eastern portion of the map shows more isolated features like Gully Lake and Fivemile Lake. This topography illustrates the hydrological complexity of the Florida Panhandle, where groundwater and surface water interact through these numerous sinkhole lakes.
