About this map

Overstreet anchors the northern reaches of this Gulf County coastal landscape, where the Intracoastal Waterway carves a path through the low-lying Florida panhandle. The settlement pattern reflects a history of both industrial enterprise and seasonal camps, evidenced by the presence of Ringjaw Camp and Roberts Camp near the winding course of Wetappo Cr. Local landmarks such as the Overstreet Fire Tower and the Sharp Hardy Homestead provide specific points of interest for genealogists and family historians tracing land use in the region.

To the southwest, the residential grid of Saint Joe Beach fronts the waters of Saint Joseph Bay, illustrating the area's transition from the interior woodlands to the coastal shore. Transportation history is captured in features like the Parkwood Tramroad and the Gulf County Canal, which link the timber-producing interior to the vital maritime corridors. The inclusion of Round Timber Island and the sharp bend known as The Kink along the waterway highlights the specific navigational challenges of the local terrain.
