2014 Map of Bon Secour Bay

About this map

Bon Secour Bay dominates this coastal landscape, showing the transition from the open waters of the bay to the residential development and wetlands of the Fort Morgan Peninsula. The Intracoastal Waterway cuts across the bay, serving as a critical navigation artery south of the small settlement at Gasque. Along the narrow peninsula to the south, the expansion of Gulf Shores is evident, with detailed street layouts reaching toward the shoreline. Local history is anchored by sites like Shellbank Cem and the Miller Memorial Cem, which sit amidst a network of bayous and bluffs including Shellbank Bayou and Seymour Bluff. The northern shore is marked by agricultural roads and family-named landmarks like Bass Field, illustrating the area's mix of rural heritage and modern coastal growth.
