1970 Map of Miramar Beach

About this map

Miramar Beach and the neighboring shoreline of the Gulf of Mexico are depicted here during a period of coastal growth in the late 1960s and mid-1970s. This survey illustrates a landscape of coastal dune lakes, a rare geological feature where freshwater bodies like Morris Lake, Campbell Lake, and Stalworth Lake sit in close proximity to the saltwater gulf, separated only by a narrow band of sand dunes. These lakes are significant for local history and environmental studies, as they represent a unique hydrological system characteristic of this specific stretch of the Florida Panhandle.
