About this map

Niceville and the surrounding Choctawhatchee Bay area are defined by a complex network of waterways, including Rocky Bayou, Toms Bayou, and Boogy Bayou. This 2012 survey illustrates the modern street grid of the city, showing thoroughfares such as Valparaiso Blvd and Edge Ave as they interface with the coastal inlets. Notable local institutions like Okaloosa-Watson College and the Ruckel Airport serve as central landmarks for the community.

Family history researchers will find the locations of Early Cem and Rocky Cem near the northern shore of the bay. The map also traces numerous inland water features that feed into the coastal system, such as Swift Cr and Shaw Still Br, while the Jackson Trl provides a historical link through the northern wooded sections. The transition from the residential density of Niceville to the open waters at Nelson Point and the crossing of Melgs Bridge provides a detailed look at the geography of this Florida panhandle region.
