1945 Map of Sugar Hill

USGS Topo · Published 1945

About this map

St George Island stretches across this mid-1940s survey, acting as a narrow barrier between the open Gulf of Mexico and the calmer waters of St George Sound. The terrain is defined by a slender, shifting profile of Dunes and Sand deposits, with Sugar Hill standing as a localized high point on the island's interior. A small Marsh area is tucked on the landward side of the dunes, suggesting the specialized brackish ecology typical of the Florida Panhandle's barrier chain before modern coastal development. This 1944 mapping, published by the War Department and the Geological Survey, captures the island in a nearly pristine state, showing the raw natural contours and shoreline as it existed during the final years of the Second World War.
