2021 Map of Rock Hill

About this map

Rock Hill and the surrounding pine-studded landscape of Walton County are defined by a complex network of creeks and drainage basins that feed into the Choctawhatchee Bay watershed. This 2021 survey illustrates a region where long-standing rural settlements like Freeport meet the expansive western boundaries of Eglin Air Force Base. The terrain is marked by distinctive topographic features such as Steep Head and Owls Head, while the Florida National Scenic Trail meanders through the wetlands and forests of the southern half of the quadrangle. Extensive creek systems, including Seven Runs, Lafayette Creek, and Alice Creek, emphasize the importance of water management and natural drainage in this low-lying Florida corridor. The map preserves local geographic memory through names like Old Walton Bridge and the various branches such as Big Branch and White Creek.
