2018 Map of West Pass

About this map

Apalachicola sits at the nexus of the Apalachicola River Intracoastal Waterway and the expansive Apalachicola Bay, a landscape defined by the shifting boundaries of water and marsh. The town's grid extends toward Scipio Creek and Turtle Harbor, while the Apalachicola Regional Airport-Cleve Randolph Field occupies the central flats. To the west, the sprawling marshlands of Saint Vincent Island separate Saint Vincent Sound from the Gulf of Mexico. This coastal geography is marked by intricate drainage patterns like Mallard Slough and isolated freshwater features such as Lake Number 1 and Oyster Pond. Small landings and settlements like Tilton and Nine Mile dot the inland roads, connected by routes like Tilton Rd and Hathcock Rd, reflecting the region's enduring reliance on the waterfront and its surrounding wetlands.
