1981 Map of New Inlet
USGS Topo · Published 1983About this map
St George Island and Little St George Island form a narrow barrier between the Gulf of Mexico and the protected waters of Apalachicola Bay in this early 1980s orthophotomap. The landscape is dominated by the Cape St George State Preserve, where the natural shift of coastal sands is evidenced by the namesake New Inlet and the man-made Government Cut. This survey, which combines 1970s aerial photography with hydrographic data, captures the intricate bathymetry of the St George Island Channel and the adjacent Spoil Area. A solitary Light serves as the primary navigational landmark for vessels navigating the passage between the sound and the open sea, reflecting the area's ongoing importance for maritime transit and ecological conservation.
