2024 Map of Beacon Hill

About this map

Tyndall Air Force Base occupies a significant portion of this coastal landscape, bordering the waters of Saint Andrew Sound and Wild Goose Lagoon. The map reveals a transition from military-managed wetlands to the residential layouts of Mexico Beach and Beacon Hill along the Gulf coast. Between these settlements, the shoreline is shaped by the Raffield Peninsula and Crooked Island, while the Intracoastal Waterway cuts through the northeast, facilitating maritime traffic behind the barrier system. Inland, the terrain is dominated by low-lying drainages including Bear Swamp, Panther Swamp, and Cypress Creek, illustrating the intricate hydrology of the Florida Panhandle. The coastal road network, featuring Canal Pkwy and Maryland Blvd, connects these waterfront communities, while the Florida Circumnavigational Paddling Trl follows the edge of the Gulf of Mexico.
