About this map

Niceville and Valparaiso dominate the southern portion of this landscape, where the developed residential grids meet the intricate shorelines of Boggy Bayou and Rocky Bayou. The geography is defined by a dense network of watercourses, including Swift Creek and Deer Moss Creek, which drain the expansive grounds of Eglin Air Force Base to the north. These creeks carve through the terrain, creating named depressions like Deep Head and feeding several smaller bodies of water such as Trout Lake and Brandt Pond.

Institutional and community landmarks are clearly marked, from the campus of Northwest Florida State College to the Ruckel Airport and Saint Paul Lutheran Church. For those researching local families, the map identifies several burial sites, including Heritage Gardens Cem, Early Cem, and Rocky Cem near the water's edge. This modern survey illustrates the transition from the protected woodlands of the military reservation to the dense coastal settlements at Nelson Point and along Sarah Ann Bayou.
