1982 Map of Apalachicola

About this map

The waterfront community of Apalachicola serves as the focal point of this 1982 topographic-bathymetric survey, positioned where the Apalachicola River meets the expansive Apalachicola Bay. This edition provides a detailed look at the coastal infrastructure of the early 1980s, featuring the John Gorrie Memorial Bridge spanning toward Eastpoint and the Patton Bridge crossing over Bulkhead Shoal. The map highlights the town's public spaces like Battery Park and Lafayette Park, alongside industrial and maritime markers such as the Mill Pond and the dredged routes of the Intracoastal Waterway. To the south, the barrier environment of St. George Island is visible, featuring Nicks Hole and Cedar Point, protecting the Upper Anchorage from the open waters of the Gulf of Mexico.
