About this map

Panama City Beach and its surrounding coastal communities are documented here during a period of dense residential and commercial expansion. This coastal landscape is defined by its series of distinct beach neighborhoods, including Open Sands, Bid-A-Wee, and Bahama Beach, all connected by the primary thoroughfares of Front Beach Rd and Back Beach Rd. The map illustrates the specialized infrastructure of the Florida panhandle, where the built environment meets the complex hydrography of the Gulf of Mexico.

Inland water features like Botheration Bayou and Harrison Bayou break up the land, while the Intracoastal Waterway runs along the northern edge of the survey. To the southeast, the development shifts toward the protected waters of the Grand Lagoon, encompassing Biltmore Beach and Lower Grand Lagoon. This 2015 U.S. Geological Survey record provides an exacting view of the modern street grid and parcel density that characterizes this prominent vacation and residential corridor.
