2012 Map of Cape San Blas

About this map

The Cape San Blas Lighthouse stands as a sentinel along this shifting Florida coastline, marking the transition between the Gulf of Mexico and the protected waters of Saint Josephs Bay. This 2012 survey reveals a landscape defined by coastal accretion and erosion, where Richardson Hammock and the Indian Peninsula buffer the mainland. Settlement is concentrated along the narrow spit of land between Bay San Blas and Indian Lagoon, with residential clusters such as Money Beach and Camp Palm appearing alongside Treasure Rd. The hydrography of the area is intricate, featuring small islands like Blacks Island and Conch Island scattered within the bay, while the interior is drained by the meandering course of Depot Creek. The map provides a precise look at the road network including the Old Apalachicola Hwy as it approaches the coastal communities.
