1945 Map of Cape St. George

About this map

Cape St George and the western tip of St George Island anchor this mid-century maritime survey, documenting a critical stretch of the Florida Panhandle coastline. At the height of the Second World War, the landscape is defined by its navigation aids and military-industrial presence, notably the Coast Guard Landing on the northern shore. The barrier island's complex topography of dunes and salt marshes separates the Gulf of Mexico from the sheltered waters of Apalachicola Bay.
