About this map

The complex shoreline of St Andrews Bay dominates this coastal survey, where the growing urban center of Panama City is flanked by several satellite communities including Springfield, Lynn Haven, and Parker. This era of the Florida Panhandle shows a landscape defined by significant military and maritime infrastructure, with Tyndall Air Force Base stretching across the peninsula to the south and the Naval Coastal Systems Center positioned along the bay.

Further inland, the map transitions into the timberlands and waterways of the eastern Gulf Coast. The Atlanta and St Andrews Bay RR provides a critical rail link through settlements like Youngstown and Fountain. To the east, the watery terrain of the Chipola River and Apalachicola River basins is preserved within the Apalachicola National Forest, featuring the distinct Dead Lake and the inland hub of Wewahitchka.
