1950 Map of New Inlet

USGS Topo · Published 1950

About this map

St George Island stretches across this mid-century maritime study, forming a narrow barrier between the open Gulf of Mexico and the protected waters of Apalachicola Bay. The topography, recorded in 1949 by plane-table methods, captures the shifting coastal environment of sand and dunes before modern development or major shoreline shifts. At the western edge of the sheet, the passage known as New Inlet cuts through the island, a feature of significant interest to those tracing the historical hydrology and navigation of the Florida panhandle. This map focuses on the raw physical geography of the barrier system, providing a clean record of the coastal profile as it existed just after the war.
