About this map

Santa Rosa Sound and the Intracoastal Waterway define the southern corridor of this coastal Florida landscape, where development is tightly bounded by significant military holdings and protected lands. To the north, Eglin Air Force Base occupies a vast tract of interior woodland, complemented by specialized aviation sites like Holley Field (Air Force OLF) and Choctaw (Navy OLF). This juxtaposition of military utility and natural preservation is most evident along the southern shore, where the Gulf Islands National Seashore protects Santa Rosa Island and its Sand Dunes.

Small settlements such as Holley and Harper anchor the local geography, situated near intricate water systems like Tom King Bayou and Miller Bayou. The map reveals the area's transition from traditional resource use, indicated by local Sandpits, to a modern landscape of suburban expansion at Woodlawn Beach. Local history is preserved in details like the Cem near Harper and the crossing at Muddy Ford.
