1950 Map of Goose Island

About this map

The coastal village of Eastpoint anchors the northwestern corner of this 1950 survey, serving as the gateway to the intricate barrier system of St George Island. This mid-century view captures the coastline before extensive modern development, highlighting a landscape defined by shifting dunes and tidal inlets. Along the island's narrow stretch, maritime landmarks like Old Landing and the light near Goose Island suggest a history of local navigation and fishing commerce. The geography is characterized by sheltered waters such as Rattlesnake Cove and Shell Point Cove, which are separated from the open Gulf of Mexico by the island’s slender profile. On the mainland, the Eastpoint Cemetery provides a specific point of interest for genealogists tracing early families of this Franklin County community during a period when the local economy was deeply tied to the surrounding St George Sound.
