2021 Map of Freeport

About this map

Choctawhatchee Bay dominates this coastal landscape, serving as the central link between the northern settlements and the southern beaches. The town of Freeport is situated at the head of LaGrange Bayou, where Lafayette Creek and Fourmile Cr converge, illustrating a development pattern dictated by access to deep water. Across the bay, Santa Rosa Beach and Choctaw Beach line the southern shore along the Intracoastal Waterway, marking the transition from the protected waters of Hogtown Bayou and Churchill Bayou to the expansive Point Washington State Forest Trl. The map details a network of landings and points, such as Blooms Lndg and Wheeler Point, which historically served as vital maritime nodes. Notable recreational and natural features including the Basin Bayou Camp Site and Nancys Cut Island highlight the region's enduring character as a junction of forest, marsh, and sea.
