2012 Map of Point Washington

About this map

The Intracoastal Waterway cuts through this coastal stretch of Walton County, separating the inland settlement of Point Washington and the hamlet of Choctaw from the developing beach communities along the Gulf. On the southern coast, a sequence of planned communities and vacation destinations has emerged, including Seagrove Beach, Seacrest, and Rosemary Beach. The landscape is defined by its coastal dune lakes, such as Eastern Lake, Deer Lake, and Camp Creek Lake, which sit just inland from the Gulf of Mexico. These rare freshwater systems and the surrounding marshy tributaries like Peach Creek and Roaring Creek illustrate the intersection of Florida's waterway infrastructure with its shoreline residential growth. Further east, the map traces the transition toward Powell Lake and the newer developments of Alys Beach and Inlet Beach near the county line.
