About this map

The settlement of Redbay sits central to a landscape defined by the winding Choctawhatchee River and a network of named hills and creek bottoms. This Walton County geography is marked by several early burial grounds, including Redbay Cem, Dead River Cem, and Antioch Cem, which offer significant value for genealogical research in this part of the Florida Panhandle. The terrain rises to several prominent elevations such as Dykes Hill, McKinnon Hill, and Hunter Hill, while the eastern border is dominated by riverine features like Roaring Cutoff and Horseshoe Lake.

Modern recreation and historical pathways intersect here, with the Florida National Scenic Trail and the Buddy McGill Trl winding through the southern half of the quadrangle. In the south, Battle Ground Forks indicates a site of historical significance near Big Cypress Cr. The presence of numerous named ponds, such as Menge Pond and Watson Pond, alongside drainage features like Hughes Ditch, illustrates the complex hydrology of the river basin and its surrounding pine-forested hills.
