1950 Map of Goose Island

About this map

St George Island stretches across the southern half of this mid-century survey, separating the Gulf of Mexico from the shallow waters of St George Sound. The island's geography is defined by a series of sand dunes, marshy inlets, and distinct coastal points such as Bulkhead Pt, Shell Point, and Gap Point. Small water bodies like Rattlesnake Cove and East Slough indent the shoreline, while the isolated Goose Island sits off the northern coast of the main barrier. On the mainland to the northwest, the settlement of Eastpoint marks the edge of the sound, served by the coastal route 319. This map provides a clear record of the area's shoreline before major modern development, noting the Eastpoint Cem and a remote Old Landing on the barrier island, suggesting early access points for fishing or transport.
