About this map

The coastal waters of West Bay and the Gulf of Mexico dominate this 2018 survey, highlighting the complex shoreline of Florida's Panhandle near the city of Panama City Beach. The landscape is defined by several prominent points extending into the bay, including Coon Point, Walsonham Point, and Cedar Point. Significant modern infrastructure is present, notably the Northwest Florida Beaches International Airport, which occupies a large footprint in the northern half of the map.

Navigational and environmental features are documented through the path of the Intracoastal Waterway and numerous slow-moving water bodies like Burnt Mill Creek and Doyle Bayou. Local road networks such as Steel Field Rd and School Rd connect the settlement at West Bay to the surrounding lowlands. The map provides a detailed view of the transition between developed coastal areas and the wetland-rich drainage systems that flow into the northern reaches of the bay.
