1945 Map of Wetappo Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1945

About this map

Wetappo Creek winds through a dense landscape of wetlands and low-lying islands in this mid-1940s survey of Gulf County. The area is defined by its water-locked geography, where the Intracoastal Waterway cuts through the southern reaches, connecting the drainage of the swampy interior to the coastal network. The Wetappo Side Camp stands as a notable human outpost in this largely undeveloped terrain, likely serving the forestry or land management needs of the era. To the north and east, the map details numerous named wetlands such as Cypress Swamp and Bill Swamp, along with isolated landforms like the Jersey Islands and Martin Islands. The presence of the Overstreet Road provides a primary transit corridor through the marshy lowland, highlighting the sparse but vital infrastructure required to navigate this portion of the Florida Panhandle during the mid-twentieth century.
