1944 Map of Apalachicola

About this map

Apalachicola serves as the focal point of this coastal survey, situated at the mouth of the Apalachicola River where it meets the vast Apalachicola Bay. During the mid-1940s, the region's connectivity was defined by the John Gorrie Memorial Bridge, a long transit spanning the water to reach Eastpoint and the prominent Godleys Bluff. This geography highlights the critical relationship between the mainland town and its maritime environment, with Scipio Creek and numerous bayous like Alligator Bayou carving through the marshy transition to the river delta.
