2018 Map of Bon Secour Bay

About this map

Fort Morgan Peninsula stretches across the southern edge of this survey, separating the Intracoastal Waterway from the northern expanse of Bon Secour Bay. The landscape is defined by the transition from coastal wetlands and bayous, such as Shellbank Bayou and Skunk Bayou, to the established roadways of Gulf Shores. The northern shore is marked by prominent landmarks like Cypress Point and Seymour Bluff, while the inland areas are interlaced with local drainages including Nolte Cr and Weeks Cr. For those researching local heritage, the map identifies significant burial sites including Shellbank Cem near the community of Gasque and Miller Memorial Cem further east. This modern charting provides a clear view of the road network, from Dixie Graves Pkwy to the more rural reaches of Magnolia Springs Hwy, capturing the balance between coastal preservation and community growth.
