2025 Map of New Inlet

About this map

Saint George Island and Little Saint George Island define this coastal landscape, separated by the narrow passage of New Inlet. These barrier islands protect the waters of Apalachicola Bay from the open Gulf of America, creating a specialized environment of tidal exchanges and coastal margins. The introduction of Government Cut provides a man-made navigable channel through the barrier, reflecting contemporary coastal management and waterway access. While much of the land remains a natural expanse, the appearance of Leisure Ln indicates localized development on the eastern island. For those following the coastal waterways, the Florida Circumnavigational Paddling Trl traces along the bay side, highlighting the region's importance for modern recreational navigation and preservation.
