1970 Map of Niceville

About this map

Niceville and Valparaiso center this coastal landscape where the waters of Boggy Bayou and Toms Bayou meet the sprawling Eglin Air Force Base. The transition from mid-century military infrastructure to regional education and recreation is evident through the presence of Okaloosa-Walton Jr College and the Fred Gannon Rocky Bayou State Park. This 1970s era documentation, later photorevised to include updated urban areas, shows the intricate neighborhood street grids of the Pinecrest Community and the proximity of the U.S. Government Railroad to residential zones.
