About this map

Eglin Air Force Base dominates the landscape of the Florida panhandle in this 1970 survey, photorevised in 1987. The base's massive footprint contains numerous military and correctional landmarks, including the Division of Correction Road Prison and multiple landing sites like Aux Field No 5 (Abandoned) and Aux Field No 4 (Abandoned). A Government Railroad Line bisects the reservation, providing a direct industrial link through the pine-dotted terrain towards the coast.

At the map's southeastern edge, the neighboring communities of Niceville and Valparaiso show significant development along the shores of Toms Bayou. The presence of residential street grids like Lincoln Ave and Andrew Dr near Clearwater Park contrasts with the surrounding wilderness of the reservation, where many small waterways like Turkey Creek and Bens Creek carve through the landscape toward the Gulf.
