Choctawhatchee Bay Nautical ChartU.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey · c. 1968

This 1968 nautical chart of Choctawhatchee Bay was issued by the U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey for the bay and the Gulf shore of northwest Florida. Warm land tones and pale water give the sheet the calm, practical look of a working mariner's chart.

Choctawhatchee Bay runs along the top of this sheet from Fort Walton Beach at its western end past Destin and the Choctawhatchee Bay Entrance, along the north shore at Valparaiso and Niceville, to Freeport, La Grange Bayou and the mouth of the Choctawhatchee River in the east. The long barrier strand of Santa Rosa Beach and Moreno Point closes the bay from the Gulf of Mexico, which fills the lower two thirds of the chart with soundings, the missile test and restricted areas, and two compass roses.

Printed on 325gsm museum-grade archival matte paper using fade-resistant giclée printing with archival inks, ensuring your vintage nautical chart will maintain its maritime heritage for generations.

Colors may vary slightly between screens and the finished piece — the print will always be richer.
