1973 Map of Spencer Flats

About this map

Eglin Air Force Base occupies a significant portion of this landscape, where the military reservation boundary meets the local terrain of Spencer Flats. The area is defined by a complex drainage network featuring Titi Creek, Dog Creek, and Bull Creek, which thread through the lowlands between the small settlements of Deerland and Forest Highlands. The presence of the CSX Railroad and Route 90 in the north highlights the transport corridor that sustained the local economy, alongside numerous sandpits and claypits that point to the region's extractive history. In the southern reaches, landmarks like the Ramer Lookout Tower and clear water features such as Blue Spring and Kemmons Pond provide specific points of interest for those studying the physical development and land use of Okaloosa County during the mid-1970s.
