1950 Map of New Inlet

USGS Topo · Published 1950

About this map

St George Island stretches across this mid-century survey, forming a narrow barrier between the Gulf of Mexico and Apalachicola Bay. This coastal landscape is defined by its shifting topography of dunes and sand, reflecting the dynamic environment of the Florida Panhandle before modern development reached these outer reaches. The presence of New Inlet at the western edge of the sheet shows a critical break in the island chain, a passage that historically dictated local maritime navigation and tidal flow into the bay. Mapped by plane-table methods in 1949 and edited in 1950, this document captures the natural state of the barrier island's eastern section during an era when the coastline remained largely shaped by wind and water rather than human infrastructure.
