1944 Map of Beacon Hill

About this map

The coastline of the Florida Panhandle is defined here by the intricate shoreline of the Gulf of Mexico, as surveyed by S. L. Parker for the War Department. Small clusters of coastal activity at Davis Beach and Beacon Hill sit alongside the narrow strip of land separating the open gulf from the sheltered waters of St Andrews Sound and St Joseph Bay. The interior is dominated by the expansive wetlands of Wetappaswamp, where family-named water features like Joe Lamb Branch, Gude Br, and Preacher Bryant Ponds mark the drainage patterns through the marshy terrain.
