About this map

Milton and its northern surroundings appear here during a period of transition as the city expanded northward toward the military installations of Santa Rosa County. The landscape is anchored by the U S Naval Station Whiting Field, which dominates the northern half of the sheet with its distinct North Field and South Field runways. Connecting this military hub to the broader regional network is the U S Government Railroad, which cuts across the terrain toward the Blackwater River.

Suburban growth is evident in the development of the Rolling Greens Country Club and various clusters like Point Baker. The map preserves several genealogical markers, including Mitchell Cem and Craine Ch Cem, alongside local institutions such as King Middle Sch and Hobbs Middle Sch. Waterfront features like Locklin Lake and Quinn Bayou provide a glimpse into the river-oriented geography that defined this Florida panhandle community before late-century modernization.
