2015 Map of Long Point

About this map

Tyndall Air Force Base dominates this coastal landscape along the Gulf of Mexico, serving as a massive military installation that defines the development of the peninsula. The map captures the meeting of the Intracoastal Waterway and East Bay, where maritime activity and air force operations intersect. Along the northern shoreline, the residential areas of Parker and Callaway are separated by the waters of Pitts Bayou and Emmons Bayou. The landscape is a complex network of coastal inlets and points, such as Long Point and Laird Point, which frame the strategic DuPont Bridge crossing. To the south, the barrier landforms like Crooked Island protect Saint Andrew Sound, showing the delicate natural geography that surrounds this critical defense hub. The presence of numerous residential streets in the northwest suggests the urban expansion of these Bay County communities toward the military reservation.
