1945 Map of St. Joseph Point

USGS Topo · Published 1945

About this map

St Joseph Spit stretches across this mid-1940s survey, illustrating the dynamic coastal geography of the Florida panhandle. The narrow barrier landform separates the open Gulf of Mexico from the protected waters of St Joseph Bay, terminating at the sharp northern hook of St Joseph Pt. The interior of the spit is characterized by intricate dune formations and coastal ridges, showing the natural state of the landscape before significant modern development. Along the eastern shoreline, the sheltered indentation of Eagle Harbor provides one of the few named topographical landmarks on this specialized coastal sheet. This document, produced through a collaboration between the Geological Survey and the Army Corps of Engineers, serves as a precise record of these shifting sands during the World War II era.
