2020 Map of Bridgehead

About this map

Fort McDermott stands as a focal point of this coastal landscape, situated near the historical settlement of Spanish Fort. The map details the complex estuarine environment where the Tensaw River, Apalachee River, and Blakeley River converge before emptying into Bay Minette. This intricate network of waterways is navigated via the Bartram Canoe Trail, which threads through islands and bays like Chacaloochee Bay and Big Island. On the eastern shore, the transition from marshland to established communities is evident in the development of Bridgehead, Park City, and the northern reaches of Daphne. Genealogists and local historians will find value in the documented locations of the Blakeley Cem, D'Olive Cem, and the Cem at Spanish Fort, all situated along the ridges overlooking the delta.
