About this map

Niceville and Valparaiso sit at the northern edge of Choctawhatchee Bay, where a complex network of coastal inlets and freshwater streams defines the landscape. The map highlights the significant infrastructure supporting these communities, including the Northwest Florida State College campus and Ruckel Airport. Along the shoreline, deep indentations like Boggy Bayou and Rocky Bayou dominate the geography, connected by the C G Melgs Bridge.

Genealogists can identify localized landmarks such as Early Cem and Rocky Cem near the residential developments. The area's hydrology is intricately detailed, tracing the paths of Swift Cr and Deer Moss Cr as they flow toward the Gulf of Mexico. This survey illustrates the modern expansion of Okaloosa County, showing the intersection of major thoroughfares like John Sims Pkwy with the winding natural features of Sarah Ann Bayou and Toms Bayou.
