About this map

Freeport sits at the northern edge of this coastal landscape, where Lafayette Creek and Fourmile Creek flow into the sheltered waters of LaGrange Bayou. The map illustrates the complex interface of the Choctawhatchee Bay and the Gulf of Mexico, separated by the developed peninsula of Santa Rosa Beach. Transportation through these waters is defined by the Intracoastal Waterway, which cuts across the bay, linking the various inlets and points.

Smaller settlements and coastal features are documented along the shorelines, including Bay View, Choctaw Beach, and the uniquely named Fluffy Landing near Bear Creek. The terrain is characterized by numerous points such as Alaqua Point, Piney Point, and Motes Point, which define the many secondary bayous like Alaqua Bayou and Hogtown Bayou. This survey provides a modern view of Walton County's coastal infrastructure, showing how local roads like Shipyard Road and Powerline Road serve the growing residential areas near the water.
