About this map

Holley and Woodlawn Beach anchor this coastal landscape along the north shore of the Santa Rosa Sound. The terrain transitions from the low-lying waters of East Bay to the inland military tracts of Eglin Air Force Base. The map reveals a high concentration of specialized aviation infrastructure, notably the Choctaw Naval Outlying Field in the north and the Holley Naval Outlying Field to the east.

Genealogists and local researchers will find value in the detailed naming of small geographic features like Alabama Hollow, Chimney Cove, and Muddy Ford. The map also captures the intricate drainage system feeding into the sound and bay, including Tom King Bayou and Dean Creek. Inland, peculiar hydrological features such as Watering Head, Steep Head, and East Head highlight the unique geomorphology of this Florida Panhandle region, while Santa Rosa Island forms a protective barrier against the Gulf of Mexico at the southern edge.
