About this map

Garcon Point and the surrounding coastal waters of Santa Rosa County define this landscape at the intersection of Escambia Bay, East Bay, and Pensacola Bay. This 1970 record, with later revisions, shows the development of Gulf Breeze and Woodlawn Beach along the southern shoreline of Santa Rosa Sound. The interior of the point remains largely open, marked by a Jeep Trail leading toward the southern tip and the small settlement of White.

Local landmarks such as Black Hammock Cem and Wilson Memorial Ch are documented near the northern boundary, providing critical points of interest for genealogical research. The map also delineates the Gulf Island National Seashore and the Intracoastal Waterway Boundary, illustrating the balance between protected coastal reaches and the navigable channels essential to the region's maritime character.
