Surveying in Santa Rosa County
Santa Rosa County includes Navarre Beach and a portion of Pensacola Beach on Santa Rosa Island, one of the longest barrier islands in the world. Coastal surveys on the island must account for CCCL setbacks, hurricane damage, and shifting sand formations.
The county is one of the fastest-growing in the Florida Panhandle, with Pace, Milton, and Navarre experiencing significant residential development. Subdivision platting and construction surveys are in high demand.
Blackwater River State Forest and Blackwater River State Park occupy large portions of the county, and the Blackwater River's sand-bottom channel creates scenic but complex waterfront boundary situations where shifting sand bars alter riparian lines.
