About this map

Eglin Air Force Base dominates the southern landscape of this Santa Rosa County quadrangle, showing the operational infrastructure of Aux Field No 7 and several monitoring towers. This military presence contrasts with the riparian terrain of the Yellow River corridor to the north, where traditional river-access points like Flowers Field Landing and the small settlement of Parkerville hint at a different era of local commerce. Between the river and the base, a network of namesake branches and hollows—including Fishtrap Branch, Roaring Branch, and Big Hollow—drain the pine-heavy sands. Local history is anchored by sites like Flowers Field Cem and Miller Bluff, while early industrial activity is evidenced by a Claypit near the base boundary. The 1976 revisions, marked in purple, highlight evolving facilities such as the Radio Tower and expanded structures within the base perimeter.
