2018 Map of Sugar Hill

About this map

Sugar Hill occupies a narrow stretch of coastal terrain along Saint George Sound, illustrating the delicate transition between the Florida mainland and the open Gulf of Mexico. This 2018 survey documents a landscape defined primarily by water and maritime navigation, where the Intracoastal Waterway cuts through the sounds to facilitate regional boat traffic. Localized features like Pilot Harbor and the adjacent Marsh Island provide specific reference points for those studying the low-lying geography of Franklin County's shoreline. The map focuses heavily on the bathymetry and aquatic boundaries of the sound, showing how small coastal settlements like Sugar Hill are physically situated against the shifting tidal environment of the Florida panhandle.
