About this map

Tyndall Air Force Base occupies a massive footprint on the peninsula between Saint Andrew Bay and East Bay, showcasing the military's strategic presence on the Florida Panhandle. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of waterways including Parker Bayou, Pitts Bayou, and Callaway Bayou, which carve into the residential areas of Parker and Callaway. The connection between the mainland and the base is established via the Dupont Bridge, a critical piece of infrastructure spanning the narrows near Pearl Bayou.

Coastal geography is exceptionally detailed here, mapping numerous points such as Long Point, Cedar Point, and Goose Point. To the south, the barrier landform of Crooked Island shelters the Saint Andrew Sound, while the Intracoastal Waterway cuts through the marshes and bayous of the east. The map records a complex coastal environment where residential growth in the north meets the expansive military and ecological zones of the southern peninsula.
