About this map

Eglin Air Force Base dominates this section of Okaloosa County, Florida, illustrating the intersection of military infrastructure and the Panhandle's freshwater drainage systems during the early 1970s. The landscape is defined by the strategic presence of Aux Field No 6 and Aux Field No 5, which are surrounded by a dense network of watercourses. These include Mutts Creek, Malone Creek, and Middle Creek flowing through the northern reaches.

Evidence of small-scale settlement persists at Piccolo in the northeast, while the interior of the base features numerous towers and named water bodies such as Pocosin Pond, Green Ponds, and Allison Pond. The drainage pattern is further characterized by Live Oak Creek and Turkey Creek, showing the varied topography of the region before further modern developments. Purple revisions added in the late 1970s provide a comparison of changing land use within the base's boundaries.
