About this map

Tyndall Air Force Base dominates the southern peninsula of this coastal landscape, illustrating the significant military footprint along the Florida Panhandle during the early 21st century. The map details the intricate shoreline where the Gulf of Mexico meets Saint Andrew Sound, characterized by numerous fingers of water such as Pearl Bayou, Parker Bayou, and Emmons Bayou. This network of bayous and points, including Ferry Point and Long Point, reflects a geography deeply tied to maritime navigation and coastal ecology.

Residential development is concentrated in the northwest at San Blas and the neighborhoods near Callaway Bayou, connected to the peninsula by the DuPont Bridge. Local streets like Blackshear Dr and Oakshore Dr provide access to the waterfront, while the eastern reaches remain more transitionary, moving toward the marshes of Goose Point and the aptly named Little Oyster Bar Point. This survey captures the region just before significant changes in the 2010s, documenting the precise layout of airbase infrastructure and civilian settlements.
