2018 Map of Apalachicola

About this map

The Apalachicola River empties into the expansive waters of the Apalachicola Bay, anchoring a landscape defined by its maritime connections and coastal geography. The town of Apalachicola serves as a focal point on the western shore, with its grid of streets including Commerce St and Broad St leading toward the Scipio Creek Channel. To the east, the community of East Point sits at the terminus of the John Gorrie Memorial Bridge, which spans the gap between the mainland and the marshy interiors of Big Towhead Island and Towhead Island. Along the southern barrier, St. George Island stretches across the horizon, featuring the St George Island Airport and the residential corridors of Gulf Beach Dr W. This 2018 survey highlights the critical role of the Intracoastal Waterway in local navigation, providing a detailed view of the shoals and points that shape this Florida Panhandle estuary.
