1943 Map of Dog Island

USGS Topo · Published 1960

About this map

Dog Island sits prominently in the Gulf of Mexico, separated from the Franklin County mainland by the waters of Saint George Sound. Surveyed in the midst of World War II, this map documents the coastal landscape during a period of significant military activity. The northwestern corner shows the presence of Camp Gordon Johnson, an important amphibious training center established during the war. Access to this coastal stretch is facilitated by the Seaboard railroad line, which runs parallel to the shore. The interior of the island itself is depicted with detailed vegetation and terrain markings, illustrating the narrow, curved landform before modern development transformed much of the Florida Panhandle coastline.
