About this map

West Bay serves as the focal point of this coastal survey, where the settlement meets the expansive northern reaches of the bay. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of waterways, including the winding course of Crooked Cr and the marshy expanses of Bear Bay. Inland, the northern portion of the map is dominated by the modern footprint of the Northwest Florida Beaches International Airport, showing its integration into a terrain once defined primarily by timber and conservation lands.

Conservation efforts are evident through the presence of the Pine Log State Frst and several parcels of the Point Washington Wma. The shoreline is marked by distinct geographical features such as Walsonham Point and Coon Point, which punctuate the interface between the pine flatwoods and the tidal waters. Historically significant routes like Tram Rd and Steel Field Rd provide a glimpse into the local transportation network that links these coastal communities to the interior wetlands.
