About this map

St Andrew Bay and the complex inlet system of Callaway Bayou define this coastal landscape in the early 1980s. This orthophotomap provides a clear view of the growing residential footprints of Springfield, Hiland Park, and Cedar Grove as they expanded toward the waterfront. The transition from established neighborhoods to the dense wetlands of the Florida Panhandle is evident, with inland settlements like Brannonville and College Station positioned near the north-south transport corridors.

Local landmarks such as Rutherford High School, Midway Church, and Evergreen Memorial Gardens offer specific points of interest for genealogists and local historians. Along the southern shoreline, the map details the industrial and maritime character of Bay Harbor and the proximity to Tyndall Air Force Base, while the intricate waterways of Cooks Bayou and Laird Bayou reflect the region's natural drainage patterns into the Gulf.
