1970 Map of Holt SW

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Eglin Air Force Base dominates this section of Okaloosa County, showcasing the military footprint of the Florida Panhandle during the early 1970s. The landscape is defined by its specialized aviation infrastructure, notably Aux Field No 5 near the settlement of Piccolo and Aux Field No 6 to the northwest. This topography reveals a complex network of drainage systems feeding into the regional watershed, characterized by numerous named water bodies including Metts Creek, Malone Creek, and Middle Creek. Local hydrology is further marked by distinct features like Pocosin Pond and Green Ponds, which suggest the low-lying, often boggy terrain typical of this part of the state. These natural drainage patterns, including Turtle Creek and Live Oak Creek, are meticulously charted alongside military installations, providing a clear view of how defense requirements integrated with the existing physical geography of the Gulf Coast hinterlands.
