1945 Map of Cape St. George

USGS Topo · Published 1960

About this map

Cape St George L H stands as a sentinel at the southwestern tip of the barrier island system in this mid-century maritime survey. The map records the fragile shoreline of St George Island and its relationship to the surrounding waters of Apalachicola Bay and the Gulf of Mexico. The landforms show a dynamic coastal environment where Sand Island and West Pass define the western entrance to the bay. Small indentations like Horseshoe Cove and Pilots Cove provide natural features along the sound side, while the Coast Guard Landing indicates the strategic and navigational importance of the cape during the post-war era. This study, based on 1943 data, documents the island's topography before significant modern development reached these outer banks.
