1982 Map of Dog Island

USGS Topo · Published 1992

About this map

Dog Island sits as a critical barrier between the Saint George Sound and the open Gulf of Mexico in this orthophotomap based on mid-1970s aerial photography. The map reveals the island's complex coastal geomorphology, including the protected waters of Tysons Harbor and the expansive Dog Island Reef to the east. Extensive shoals and maritime hazards are indicated by the presence of Lanark Reef and several navigation lights. The cartography notes that much of the surrounding shoal area is subject to frequent change, reflecting the dynamic nature of the Florida Panhandle coastline. This hybrid topographic-bathymetric study captures the island before significant modern shifts, detailing the transit path of the Ferry that linked this isolated landmass to the mainland near the Sopchoppy and Lanark Village areas.
