1973 Map of Mossy Head

About this map

The settlement of Mossy Head serves as the focal point for this section of Walton County, situated along the CSX rail line and Interstate 10. To the south, the landscape is defined by the massive footprint of Eglin Air Force Base, which contains critical military infrastructure including Auxiliary Field No 1 and the U. S. Government Railroad. This military presence is interwoven with the natural hydrology of the Florida panhandle, where numerous headwaters like Titi Creek and Exline Creek carve through the terrain. Notable local elevations such as Mt Sinai and Sandy Mountain rise above the dense network of branches and creeks. The 1987 revisions, shown in purple, highlight the growth of transportation and utility corridors, while numerous sandpits indicate the local extractive industry that supported development in this era.
