1954 Map of Sprague Island

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

St Marks National Wildlife Refuge dominates this coastal landscape where the St Marks River meets the Gulf of Mexico. This environment is defined by a labyrinth of tidal creeks, pools, and islands, including Sprague Island and the smaller Gibbs Island. Established infrastructure for maritime safety and conservation is evident near the shoreline, specifically the Lighthouse and the nearby Coast Guard Station at the mouth of the river. Inland, the map documents the management of these wetlands through features like Mounds Pool and the Refuge Headquarters. The presence of the Mound Lookout Tower near Headquarters Pond suggests a period focused on both ecological observation and fire watch. Significant coastal landmarks such as Pelican Point and the complex waters of Kitchen Cove reveal the intricate interface between the Florida Panhandle's marshlands and the open sea during the mid-20th century.
