About this map

Tyndall Field dominates this 1944 coastal landscape, established as a major military installation during the height of World War II. The facility's runways and support structures occupy a significant portion of the peninsula between East Bay and the Gulf of Mexico, illustrating the rapid wartime transformation of the Florida panhandle. Outside the military perimeter, the settlement of San Blas sits near the head of the peninsula, while the shoreline is defined by a complex network of coastal inlets including Pearl Bayou, Shoal Point Bayou, and Laird Bayou. The presence of Crooked Island shelters St Andrew Sound from the open sea, creating a protected waterway characteristic of this barrier island geography. This topographic survey captures the area just before significant post-war development, emphasizing the intersection of military defense and the natural maritime environment.
