1945 Map of Cape St. George

USGS Topo · Published 1945

About this map

The maritime landscape of Franklin County is defined here by the slender reach of St. George Island at the height of the Second World War. This 1945 edition, based on 1943 field work by the Geological Survey and War Department, documents a strategic coastal environment where Apalachicola Bay meets the Gulf of Mexico. The map highlights the island's southern tip at Cape St George, a critical navigational point marked by the Cape St George L H and the Coast Guard Landing. The intricate shoreline details of Horseshoe Cove and Pilots Cove illustrate the shifting sands and inlets that characterized this barrier island before modern development. To the northwest, Sand Island sits adjacent to West Pass, showing the natural channel structure essential for local maritime traffic and naval operations during the era.
