1956 Map of Crooked Island

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

Tyndall Air Force Base occupies the coastal stretch of Bay County in the mid-1950s, a period when military aviation and coastal defense were transforming the Florida panhandle. This survey illustrates the proximity of active military operations to the shoreline, featuring a designated Gunnery Range and a significant Danger Area extending into the Gulf of Mexico. The landscape is dominated by the narrow barrier profile of Crooked Island, which separates the open gulf from the protected waters of St Andrew Sound. The absence of civilian roads or settlements highlights the restricted nature of this terrain during the Cold War era, making it a critical reference for understanding the geography of the base and its impact on the surrounding coastal environment.
