About this map

Springfield and Bay Harbor dominate the southwestern shoreline of this 1945 coastal survey, illustrating the wartime industrial and residential footprint near the waters of East Bay. The map captures a moment of transition where established waterfront communities like Parker sit alongside developing areas such as Callaway and the inland site of Old Callaway. The Atlanta and St Andrews Bay railroad cuts a sharp diagonal across the landscape, connecting College Station and Highland City to the port areas.

Inland, the terrain is defined by a dense network of drainage, including Mill Bayou, Callaway Bayou, and Laird Bayou. The presence of the C C C Road reflects the influence of recent federal work projects on the local infrastructure. Local life is centered around landmarks like the Parker Sch, while the intricate shoreline of Gainers Bayou and Parker Bayou highlights the maritime character of this Florida Panhandle region.
