1945 Map of Sugar Hill

USGS Topo · Published 1960

About this map

St George Island stretches across the northern portion of this survey, revealing the shifting coastal geography of Franklin County just after the second World War. This barrier landscape is defined by its natural defenses, including prominent Dunes and extensive areas of Sand that separate St George Sound from the open Gulf of Mexico. The landforms here are relatively sparse, highlighting the isolation of landmarks like Sugar Hill and the small Marsh I tucked along the sound-side shore. Mapped in 1944 by the U.S. Geological Survey, the document focuses on the topographical reality of this coastal stretch before modern development altered the shoreline of the Florida panhandle. It serves as a clear record of the island's primitive state, where the natural movement of wind and water dictated the shape of the dunes and marshland.
