2021 Map of New Inlet

About this map

Saint George Island and Little Saint George Island form a narrow barrier between the sheltered Apalachicola Bay and the open Gulf of Mexico in this coastal survey. The map details the transition where the two landmasses are separated, highlighting the dynamic shoreline of Franklin County. Modern recreational infrastructure is present through the Florida Circumnavigational Paddling Trail, which skirts the northern edge of the islands. While much of the island remains undeveloped, residential street names like Palmetto Way and Leisure Ln indicate localized development on the eastern portion of the landmass. This coastal geography is essential for understanding the protection these islands offer to the inland bay ecosystem and the navigational routes used by small watercraft along the Florida coast.
