About this map

Point Washington and the northern shores of Choctawhatchee Bay define this coastal landscape, where the Intracoastal Waterway cuts through the marshy lowland of Devils Swamp. The map shows a sophisticated network of modern recreation and transit, including the Florida Circumnavigational Paddling Trl skirting the Gulf of Mexico and the Point Washington State Forest Trl weaving through the pine flatwoods.

Coastal development is concentrated along the southern edge, with the planned communities of Alys Beach, Rosemary Beach, and Inlet Beach creating a dense corridor of named streets and local landmarks. To the west, Seagrove Beach sits near Deer Lake, illustrating the rapid growth of Walton County's shoreline. Away from the coast, the terrain remains characterized by bayous and creeks like Tucker Bayou and Peach Creek, retaining a more traditional Florida character compared to the manicured development of the beach fronts.
