About this map

The Apalachicola River flows into the vast Apalachicola Bay and Saint George Sound, shaping a landscape defined by its historic maritime connections. In the western reaches, the city of Apalachicola displays a grid of streets including Market St and Commerce St, which sit at the junction of Scipio Creek and the main river channel. This 2015 data reflects the area's continued reliance on the water, with the Intracoastal Waterway cutting through the bay and the John Gorrie Memorial Bridge linking the mainland to Magnolia Bluffs and Eastpoint.

Further south, the barrier land of Saint George Island protects the bay from the open Gulf of Mexico. Here, the coastal development includes the St George Island Airport and local landmarks like Cedar Point and All Tides Cove. The map illustrates the specialized terrain of the Florida Panhandle, where features like Bulkhead Shoal and Towhead Island dictate the movement of vessels through these vital oyster-producing waters.
