1921 Map of Bon Secour

About this map

Coastal Baldwin County is documented here during the early twentieth century, showing a landscape defined by tidewater inlets and nascent settlements. The southern terminus of the Ft Morgan and Bay Minette R R reaches into Foley, anchoring a local economy transition from timber to agriculture. Extensive tracts of Dead Woods are noted across the lowlands, reflecting the environmental conditions of the era before widespread coastal development.
