1943 Map of Overstreet

USGS Topo · Published 1943

About this map

Overstreet stands at the northern edge of this Gulf County coastal region, a community defined by its proximity to the Intracoastal Waterway during the mid-war years. This Corps of Engineers survey reveals a landscape dominated by intricate wetlands and drainage patterns, where the waterway carves through the terrain near notable bends like Devils Elbow and The Kink. The presence of the Sharp Hardy Homestead and Ringjaw Camp indicates sparse, localized settlement amidst the dense sloughs and creeks. The geography transitions from the tidal influence of St Joseph Bay and the Northern Sand Dunes in the southwest to the interior pine and marshlands of the panhandle. Strategic infrastructure of the era is evident in the Fire Tower overlooking the town, while the numerous 'USE' labels along the canal corridor suggest active federal management of this vital inland shipping route during a period of intense maritime activity.
