For more than two and a half centuries, surveyors have drawn this bay. Set their charts side by side and the island moves: sand migrates, a battery washes into the Gulf, an inlet opens. Cycle through the maps below, oldest to newest, to watch Mullet Key change. Every chart here is in the public domain.
The historical charts in this collection are in the public domain, either as works of the U.S. federal government (the Coast Survey, the Corps of Engineers, USGS) or by age. NOAA's Office of Coast Survey holds tens of thousands of historical charts free for any use, requesting only the credit line “Provided by NOAA Office of Coast Survey.”
Image files are added as they are sourced; slots showing a placeholder list exactly where the chart can be obtained.
