2012 Map of Portland

About this map

The settlement of Portland sits at the head of West Bayou in this coastal Florida survey, serving as a hub for the surrounding creeks and headlands. The terrain is defined by a dense network of waterways, including Alaqua Cr and its tributaries like Little Alaqua Cr and Counterfeit Mill Cr, which drain several distinctive elevation points such as Brushy Head, Steep Head, and Flat Head. To the north, the small community of New Home is surrounded by timbered drainages and the Beaver Pond. Transportation is evidenced by local landmarks like Pine Allen Bridge and Hobbs Bridge, while the presence of Hatcher Cem near Co HWY-83a provides a point of interest for those tracing local family lineages. The landscape's proximity to military activity is noted by the inclusion of Eglin Territory Site C-6 Rd, reflecting the area's modern strategic significance.
