About this map

Saint Joseph Bay defines the western edge of this coastal landscape, where the waters meet the industrial and residential heart of Port Saint Joe. This survey captures a region defined by its waterborne infrastructure, notably the Gulf County Canal slicing through the terrain and the George G Tapper Bridge providing a vital link at Highland View. The map illustrates a distinctive pattern of development, from the structured grids of Milltown and Oak Grove to the more dispersed settlements of Niles and Ward Ridge further inland.

Traces of the area's economic past are visible in the numerous industrial and logging routes, such as the Old Parkwood Tramroad and the St Joe Timberport Rd. Notable local landmarks for researchers include Forest Hill Cem and the Costin Airport. The landscape is a network of smaller drainages like Chickenhouse Br and Depot Cr, which filter toward the bay through a mix of modern residential development and managed timberlands.
