1943 Map of Dog Island

USGS Topo · Published 1943

About this map

Camp Gordon Johnson anchors the northern mainland edge of this 1943 War Department survey, reflecting the coastal military presence during the Second World War. The map centers on the narrow barrier island of Dog I, separating the Saint George Sound from the open Gulf of Mexico. The mainland shoreline is defined by the Seaboard railroad and the coastal route of highway 319, which parallel the sound. This specific edition provides an essential view of the maritime and military geography of Franklin County before the post-war development of the Florida Panhandle coastline, capturing the area when its primary features were temporary military installations and established rail corridors.
