1943 Map of Crooked Island

USGS Topo · Published 1943

About this map

Crooked Island forms a thin, protective barrier between the open Gulf of Mexico and the sheltered waters of St Andrew Sound in this wartime coastal survey. The map, based on work by S. L. Parker for the War Department Corps of Engineers, focuses on the dynamic littoral environment of Bay County during the mid-1940s. The landscape is dominated by extensive Sand Dunes and shifting shorelines, reflecting a period before significant modern development altered the Florida panhandle coast. This topographical record documents the precise contours of the island and sound at a time when much of the area remained in a natural state, providing a baseline for understanding coastal erosion and the historical geography of this section of the Gulf coast.
