1956 Map of Holt

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

The Yellow River and its major tributaries, the Shoal River and Titi Creek, dominate this mid-century view of Okaloosa County. The landscape reflects a transition from river-and-rail commerce to a massive military footprint, as the Louisville and Nashville Railroad and the historic Old Spanish Trail run parallel through Holt, Galliver, and Milligan. To the south, the expansion of Eglin Air Force Base is evident, encompassing training grounds like Duke Field, Biancur Field, and Piccolo Field. Smaller rural details remain preserved on this sheet, including the Chatoola Lookout Tower and remote river access points such as Gin Hole Landing and Carr Landing. The northern reaches are characterized by the Blackwater River State Forest, while the southern border shows the burgeoning municipalities of Niceville and Valparaiso near Toms Bayou.
