2018 Map of Overstreet

About this map

Overstreet and the northern reaches of Port St. Joe anchor this Gulf County landscape, where the Intracoastal Waterway carves a straight path through a complex network of wetlands and tidal creeks. The settlement of Overstreet sits near the sharp bend of Devils Elbow, illustrating the historical importance of water-based transit before the modernization of routes like the Parkwood Tramroad. Further south, the residential grid of Port St. Joe begins to take shape along Saint Joseph Bay, with streets named for explorers and states including Ponce De Leon St and Georgia Ave. Deep in the interior, large tracts of hydric terrain such as Panther Swamp and Cerser Swamp surround isolated high points like Round Timber Island. This geography highlights the balance between early 21st-century coastal development and the persistent, low-lying drainage systems of the Wetappo Creek basin.
