About this map

The coastal village of West Bay serves as the focal point for this 1943 survey, situated where the Intracoastal Waterway cuts through the marshy lowland terrain. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of tidal creeks and bayous, including Crooked Creek and Burnt Mill Creek, which drain the dense pine and cypress swamps into the larger West Bay basin. Prominent coastal features such as Walsonham Point and Breakfast Point mark the irregular southern shoreline, illustrating the transition between the freshwater branches and the brackish bay.
