1970 Map of Holley

About this map

Holley and the surrounding coastal landscape are defined by an intricate network of waterways at the northern edge of the Santa Rosa Sound. This 1970s record illustrates the significant military presence in the Florida Panhandle, with substantial acreage dedicated to Eglin Air Force Base and the Holley Field (Air Force OLF). The map provides a clear look at the residential patterns in Woodlawn Beach and Harper, alongside local landmarks like the Cemetery near Holley Point. To the south, the preservation of the barrier island ecosystem is noted within the Gulf Islands National Seashore, while the Intracoastal Waterway serves as a vital artery for maritime traffic. Distinctive coastal features like Tom King Bayou and Miller Point highlight the irregular shoreline where East Bay meets the mainland.
