1994 Map of Crooked Island

About this map

Crooked Island defines the coastal geography of this mid-1990s bathymetric survey, separating the open Gulf of Mexico from the sheltered waters of St Andrew Sound. This map is primarily focused on the maritime and military landscape of the Florida Panhandle, where the southeastern reaches of Tyndall Air Force Base occupy the shoreline. The transition from the sandy barrier island to the inland marshes is marked by features like Wild Goose Lagoon, while the seafloor is meticulously detailed with bathymetric contours. Notably, some offshore areas indicate an area subject to frequent change, reflecting the dynamic nature of this barrier system. A designated Dump Site is also identified in the deeper waters of the Gulf, providing a record of 20th-century offshore land use near the base.
