About this map

Tyndall Air Force Base dominates the southern landscape of this coastal survey, where the heavy vegetation of the Florida panhandle meets the intricate shoreline of East Bay. The map captures a transitional period for small settlements like Allanton and Farmdale, which are situated along the north and south shores of the water. The Intracoastal Waterway cuts through the bay, serving as a primary maritime artery alongside natural features like Nesser Flat and Raffield Island.

Detailed bathymetric data reveals the complex underwater topography of Big Cove and numerous bayous, including Walker Bayou and Smith Bayou. To the north, the terrain transitions into the California Swamp, drained by a network of creeks such as Mule Creek and Little Sandy Creek. This 1982 orthophotomap combines aerial imagery with topographic contours, providing a clear record of land use near the Landing Strip and the various points that define this section of the Gulf Coast.
