1955 Map of Rock Islands

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

The marshy coastline of Taylor County meets the Gulf of Mexico in this mid-century coastal survey. This stretch of the Florida Panhandle is defined by a complex network of tidal inlets and rivers, including the Fenholloway River and the Henderson River, which empty into the shallow waters of Apalachee Bay. The map documents an intricate shoreline of points and islands, such as Rock Point, Stake Point, and the Rock Islands cluster. An Old Railroad Grade in the northeast corner suggests the region's historical industrial activity, likely tied to timber or naval stores, which were moving inland away from the tidal flats. Offshore, the geography is marked by extensive Oyster Bars and isolated features like Bird Rock, while the interior remains a dense mosaic of wetlands and small waterways like Cut Off Cr and Pinhook Creek.
