2024 Map of Crooked Island

About this map

Tyndall Air Force Base occupies the coastal stretch of Bay County shown here, where the land meets the expansive Gulf of Mexico. The landscape is defined by the thin, protective barrier of Crooked Island, which shelters the waters of Saint Andrew Sound. This 2024 survey captures a shifting coastal environment where small, interior water bodies like Wild Goose Lagoon sit just behind the primary shoreline. The presence of the Florida Circumnavigational Paddling Trl indicates the area's modern role as a recreational corridor along the panhandle. The map illustrates the specialized geography of a military reservation situated directly against a dynamic barrier island system, emphasizing the isolation of these coastal landforms from the more developed inland regions of Florida.
