1982 Map of Crooked Island

About this map

Crooked Island and the adjacent reaches of St Andrew Sound define this coastal landscape on the Florida Panhandle. This orthophotomap, based on mid-1970s aerial photography, provides a literal look at the shifting sands of a region noted as an Area subject to frequent change. The military presence at Tyndall Air Force Base is visible along the northern shore, where the coastal terrain transitions into the protected waters of Wild Goose Lagoon. Offshore, the depths of the Gulf of Mexico are charted with bathymetric data, including a designated Dump Site to the south. The map's photographic base reveals the complex interplay of sandbars and shoals that characterize this dynamic stretch of Bay County shoreline.
