1943 Map of St. Teresa Beach

USGS Topo · Published 1969

About this map

St Teresa Beach sits as a quiet coastal outpost along the Florida Panhandle during the early 1940s, situated between the open waters of the Gulf of Mexico and the protective sweep of Alligator Harbor. This landscape is defined by its intricate aquatic systems, where the Ochlockonee River and Sopchoppy River meet to form the expansive Ochlockonee Bay. Inland, the terrain within the St Marks National Wildlife Refuge is a mosaic of freshwater features like Corn Landing Lake and Halfway Lake, separated by low-lying hammock land such as Shell Hammock. The map details a period before heavy modern development, showing the winding paths of Little Tide River and the isolated geography of Thorn Island and Mashes Island. Coastal landmarks such as Southwest Cape and Peninsula Point illustrate the dynamic shoreline that has long characterized the Franklin and Wakulla County border.
