1945 Map of St. Joseph Point

USGS Topo · Published 1960

About this map

St Joseph Spit stretches across this mid-1940s survey, representing a narrow, wave-sculpted barrier between the open Gulf of Mexico and the sheltered waters of St Joseph Bay. Published by the War Department Corps of Engineers, the topography focuses on the northern tip of the peninsula at St Joseph Pt, where shifting sands and coastal vegetation form a delicate maritime environment. The map captures the quiet seclusion of Eagle Harbor before significant modern development altered the Florida panhandle coastline. For researchers, this document preserves the precise shoreline and natural indentations of the spit as they existed during World War II, providing a base for studying coastal erosion and the historical geography of Gulf County.
