1978 Map of Port Saint Joe

About this map

Port St Joe and the surrounding coastline of Gulf and Franklin counties appear here as they were updated in the late 1970s. The geography is defined by the long, slender St Joseph Spit shielding the waters of St Joseph Bay and the significant barrier islands of the St Vincent National Wildlife Refuge. This map illustrates the vital intersection of water and transport, where the Intracoastal Waterway cuts through toward Lake Wimico, and the Apalachicola Northern railroad line services the coastal settlements. Extensive wetlands and river systems like the Apalachicola River and Brothers River dominate the eastern portion, contrasting with the military footprint of Tyndall Air Force Base to the northwest. Smaller locales such as White City and Overstreet are shown alongside notable maritime landmarks like the Cape St George Lighthouse.
