1938 Map of Villa Tasso

About this map

Eglin Air Force Base and the Moreno Point Military Reservation dominate this coastal landscape, illustrating the significant military footprint on the Florida Panhandle during the late 1930s and early 1940s. The map highlights restricted zones for all navigation within Choctawhatchee Bay and features specialized facilities like the Line of Fire Laboratory. Away from the military zones, the area maintains a sparse coastal character with small settlements such as Villa Tasso and Bolton situated near the dense network of inlets, including Boggy Bayou and Rocky Bayou.
