2018 Map of Holt

About this map

The Yellow River snakes through the center of this Okaloosa County landscape, creating a wide floodplain that defines the local geography. Small settlements like Holt, Galliver, and Milligan are situated along the northern corridor, connected by established roads and the southern edge of the Crestview outskirts. The map documents several bluffs overlooking the river bottoms, including Metts Bluff, Wilkinson Bluff, and Rattlesnake Bluff, which historically provided high ground above the swampy lowlands. Aviation and military presence are evident near the southern boundary with the Eglin Test Site B6 Airport and the Yellow River Airstrip. For those tracing local families, several burial grounds are recorded, such as Holt Cem, Beulah Cem, and Carr Cem. The Florida National Scenic Trail winds through the river valley, following the natural contours of the terrain between the river and the various creek systems like Metts Cr and Middle Cr.
