2015 Map of Sugar Hill

About this map

Sugar Hill rises as a subtle landmark along the thin coastal margin of Franklin County, overlooking the barrier island landscape of the Florida Panhandle. This survey illustrates the intricate relationship between the mainland shore and Saint George Island, separated by the waters of Saint George Sound. The maritime environment is defined by the sheltered Pilot Harbor and the adjacent Marsh Island, which sit just south of the Intracoastal Waterway. This transit artery serves as a critical link for coastal navigation before the map transitions into the open expanse of the Gulf of Mexico. The area is characterized by these narrow strips of land and shallow sounds, reflecting the dynamic nature of the Gulf coast's barrier system.
