1936 Map of Point Washington

USGS Topo · Published 1936

About this map

Choctawhatchee Bay dominates this coastal survey, where the intricate transition from salt water to the delta of the Choctawhatchee River is documented through numerous islands and bayous. In the mid-1930s, the community of Point Washington served as a key hub near the Pt. Washington Light House, which guided maritime traffic navigating from the Gulf of Mexico toward the sheltered interior bays. The map records a landscape of coastal lakes and marshy river channels, including Duck Lake and Cypress Lake, alongside small islands like Nancys Island and Williams Island. Further inland, the settlement pattern centers around Freeport and the Bunker Ch and Bunker Cem, providing valuable evidence of local social geography for genealogists. The shoreline near Grayton and Seagrove Beach shows a sparsely developed coast characterized by dune-locked waters like Camp Creek Lake.
