About this map

East Bay and the Intracoastal Waterway define the coastal landscape of this Bay County region, where the finger-like inlets of Burkett Bayou and Richard Bayou reach into the Florida pine woods. The small settlement of Allanton sits prominently on the shore at Allan Point, while Farmdale is situated further south near the quiet grounds of Farmdale Cem. This area is characterized by a complex network of coastal features, including Raffield Island and the marshy expanses of Nesser Flat.

Inland navigation and local transport are represented by the crossing of Wetappo Creek and the presence of the Sandy Creek Airpark near the northern edge of the survey. The terrain transitions from the low-lying Turtle Slough to the elevation of Hotelan Bluff overlooking Sandy Creek. This record documents the intricate shoreline before significant modern development, preserving the locations of family-named landmarks like Lathrop Point and Davis Point along the Gulf coast.
