2012 Map of Pardon Island

About this map

Pardon Island and the complex salt marsh estuaries of the Florida coast dominate this topographical study from 2012. The landscape is defined by the narrow barrier features and shallow waterways that separate the mainland from the Atlantic Ocean. The intricate network of tidal channels includes Pardon Slough and the broader expanse of Mosquito Lagoon, illustrating a coastline shaped by shifting sands and water. Further north, the isolated Three Cabbage Island sits among the wetlands, while Widgeon Bay marks the southern reach of the sheet. This map offers a high-resolution view of the coastal morphology and undeveloped barrier islands before significant modern alterations or natural storm-driven changes impacted the shoreline geometry.
