2015 Map of Cape Saint George

About this map

Little Saint George Island and Saint George Island form a narrow barrier between the Apalachicola Bay and the open Gulf of Mexico in this coastal survey. The terrain is defined by the sharp southern point of Cape Saint George, where the land meets the submerged hazards of Cape Saint George Shoal. This geography reveals a fragile coastline where narrow inlets like Horseshoe Cove and Pilot Cove provide small breaks in the island's interior. To the northeast, the waters of Higgins Shoal suggest the shifting sands common to this part of the Florida Panhandle. The map documents the minimal human footprint on these islands, focusing instead on the precise bathymetry and shoreline necessary for navigating the waters surrounding Franklin County.
