About this map

Saint Joseph Bay dominates the western edge of this coastal survey, where the deep-water harbor has long shaped the development of Port St. Joe. The industrial and maritime character of the region is evident in the layout of Milltown and the prominent Gulf County Canal, which bisects the northern reaches near Highland View. To the south, residential and civic life centers around the Gulf County Courthouse, while outlying settlements like Niles and Ward Ridge suggest the inland expansion of the community.

Transport infrastructure plays a vital role in this landscape, from the George G Tapper Bridge crossing the canal to the Costin Airport near the southern boundary. Traces of older land use are visible in the Old Parkwood Tramroad and the Forest Hill Cem, providing important touchstones for local history and genealogy. The area's transition into wilderness is marked by the George Washington Swamp and Panther Swamp, which frame the settled coastal strip.
