About this map

Coastal dune lakes and planned resort communities define this stretch of the Florida Panhandle during the early 21st century. The map documents the intricate development patterns of Beach Highlands, Dune Allen Beach, and the iconic urban design of Seaside and Watercolor. These settlements are interspersed with rare geographical features like Western Lake, Big Redfish Lake, and Oyster Lake, which sit just behind the primary dunes.

Tracing the inland landscape, the presence of Santa Rosa Cem provides a point of historical continuity near Lake Fox. Further north, the terrain transitions into the wetlands surrounding McQuage Bayou and Tucker Bayou, illustrating the proximity of the Gulf of Mexico to the bay systems. The local elevation reaches a notable point at Blue Mtn, overseeing the established residential areas of Blue Mountain Beach and Grayton Beach.
