2018 Map of New Inlet

About this map

Saint George Island and Little Saint George Island dominate this coastal survey, where the delicate barrier island system separates the Apalachicola Bay from the open Gulf of Mexico. The landscape is defined by the narrow passage of New Inlet and the man-made navigation channel of Government Cut, which bisects the islands to provide water access between the bay and the sea. Development is sparse on this portion of the islands, with only Leisure Ln appearing as a localized road corridor. The topography reveals the shifting nature of these coastal landforms, illustrating the interplay of tidal currents and sediment transport that continually reshapes the Florida Panhandle coastline.
