2012 Map of Mossy Head

About this map

Mossy Head sits at the center of this Panhandle landscape, where the headwaters of numerous creeks begin their descent toward the Gulf. The drainage pattern is the most striking element of the geography, with watercourses like Titi Cr, Alaqua Cr, and Rocky Cr branching out through the sandy terrain. While the modern transportation corridor of Interstate 10 and the railroad dominate the northern section, the map reveals a history of elevation-based monitoring with both the Mossy Head Lookout Tower and the Sandy Mountain Lookout Tower situated on high points. These towers served as critical watchpoints for the surrounding timberlands. Further south, the landscape transitions into a network of ponds and minor branches, including Bull Pond and Indigo Pond, illustrating the hydrology of Walton County.
