2015 Map of Mary Esther

About this map

Mary Esther and the neighboring community of Wright define the suburban and military landscape of coastal Florida along the Intracoastal Waterway in this mid-2010s survey. The map details the significant footprint of Hurlburt Field, which occupies a large central portion of the quadrangle north of the residential developments. To the south, the protected sands of the Gulf Islands National Seashore stretch across Santa Rosa Island, separated from the mainland by the passage known as The Narrows. This area is defined by its complex shoreline, where Kohler Bayou and Cinco Bayou reach into the mainland. The dense street networks of settlements like Harris are meticulously documented, alongside local landmarks like Beal Cem and geographic markers such as Lasater Point. The map provides a precise view of the interface between the Gulf of Mexico and the developed Emerald Coast.
