1982 Map of Lighthouse Point

USGS Topo · Published 1982

About this map

St James Island dominates this coastal orthophotomap, where the interface of land and sea is constantly shifting. The topography reflects a highly dynamic environment, specifically noting an area subject to frequent change near Ochlockonee Point and the shoals of Apalachee Bay. These shifting sands and tides define the navigation of the era, as seen in the bathymetric contours reaching into the Gulf of Mexico. On the interior of the island, a network of water bodies like Tucker Lake and Sand Pond dot the marshy landscape, accessible only by a single Jeep Trail. To the south, Lighthouse Point and the Southwest Cape frame the entrance to Alligator Harbor, providing a sheltered anchorage. This detailed 1982 edition captures the transition between the freshwater ponds and the salt-heavy reaches of Ochlockonee Bay before modern development altered these shores.
