About this map

Saint Andrew Bay separates the mainland settlements from the barrier landscape of Shell Island in this coastal Florida survey. The map details the residential patterns of Beacon Beach and Cromanton as they overlook the waters of East Bay. These communities are situated near several coastal inlets, including Freshwater Bayou and Pearl Bayou, which define the local shoreline.

Genealogists and local historians can locate Marywood Cem situated near the coast, providing a specific point of interest for family research. The presence of Camp Merrill and the narrow projection of Lands End illustrate the mix of residential, military, and natural land use along the Gulf. From Davis Point to Spanish Shanty Point, the geography reflects a landscape deeply tied to the shifting sands and tidal waters of the Gulf of Mexico.
