1945 Map of St. Joseph Point

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

St Joseph Spit dominates this 1943 survey, appearing as a narrow, rhythmic ribbon of sand and vegetation between the open waters of the Gulf of Mexico and the sheltered St Joseph Bay. The mapping, conducted during the war years by the Geological Survey and the War Department Corps of Engineers, details the intricate topography of dunes and marshland that define this coastal barrier. At the northern terminus, St Joseph Pt curves sharply eastward, while further south, the indentation of Eagle Harbor provides a natural break in the spit's interior shoreline. This document preserves the exact shoreline configuration of this Florida panhandle landmark before mid-century coastal changes, illustrating the isolated character of the landform during the early 1940s.
